Coils to cool Tank Product
(OP)
I am trying to determine how long it would take to cool 12,000BBLs of Glacial acetic acid at 90F to 75F using coils that provide 480sqft of surface area and are filled with chilled water at 40F. I believe I have all the information i need however, It had been a long time since I have ran calcs for heat transfer. Anyones help would be apprecaited.

You have almost everything you need. You first have to determine whether you are going to let ambient conditions into this formula. For example, if the process is sitting in a vessel during cooling, we need to consider the temperature outside and whether that is working for us or against us.
If you want to assume you have an adiabatic barrier around the process, the formula becomes much more simplified.
Are you looking for approximates for feasibility or do you need exact numbers?
