Question: A well-insulated, thin-walled, counter-flow heat exchanger is to be used to cool oil (cp = 2.20 kJ/kg C) from 150 to 40C at a rate

A well-insulated, thin-walled, counter-flow heat exchanger is to be used to cool oil (cp = 2.20 kJ/kg ˆ™°C) from 150 to 40°C at a rate of 2 kg/s by water (cp = 4.18 kJ/kg ˆ™ °C) that enters at 22°C at a rate of 1.5 kg/s. The diameter of the tube is 2.5 cm, and its length is 6 m. Determine
(a) The rate of heat transfer and
(b) The rate of exergy destruction in the heat exchanger.
