exchanger. Water is heated from 50o C to75oC by an oil flowing through the tube. The
specific heat of the oil is 1.780 kj/kg.K. The oil enters at 115oC and leaves at 70oC.the
overall heat transfer co-efficient is 340 W/m2K.calcualte the following 1. Heat
exchanger area 2. Rate of heat transfer
2. A parallel flow heat exchanger is used to cool 4.2 kg/min of hot liquid of specific heat
3.5 kJ/kg K at 130o C. A cooling water of specific heat 4.18 kJ/kg K is used for cooling
purpose of a temperature of 15o C. The mass flow rate of cooling water is 17 kg/min.
