8.13 A counterflow heat exchanger is employed to cool 0.55 kg/s (c = 2.45 kJ/kg°C) of oil from 115°C to 40°C by the use of water. The Inlet and outlet temperatures of cooling water are 15°C and 75°C, respectively. The overall heat transfer coefficient is expected to be 1450 W/m2K. Using the NTU method, calculate the follow- ing: (a) The mass flow rate of water; (b) the effectiveness of the heat exchanger and (c) the surface area required.
