Heat Exchangers Analysis of Heat Exchangers Smart car manufacturers require a compact car radiator with effectiveness of 80%. Designer conduct a test with air (Cp = 1005 J/kgC) enters in a car radiator at 15C at a rate of 2.5 kg/s, which is heated by a hot water (Cp = 4190 J/kgC) that enters in the tubes at 95C at a rate of 1.5 kg/s. Determine the outlet temperatures of air and water. Also calculate the (UA) of the required car radiator Challenge Problem
