What is the overall heat transfer coefficient of a U-tube heat exchanger used for heat exchange between natural gas and water?

Shell side: Water. 4. What are the overall heat transfer coefficients for the two operating conditions of natural gas? Thank you very much. Or it’s also okay to help with paid calculations.
This is also related to the design flow rate, right?
There must be a relationship; given relatively reasonable flow rates in the tube side and shell side, what would the overall heat transfer coefficient be approximately? Thank you.
