A counter-flowing heat exchanger conserves energy by heating cold outside fresh air at 10oC with the outgoing

Question:

A counter-flowing heat exchanger conserves energy by heating cold outside fresh air at 10oC with the outgoing combustion gas (air) at 100oC. Assume both flows are 1 kg/s and the temperature difference between the flows at any point is 50oC. What is the incoming fresh air temperature after the heat exchanger? What is the equivalent (single) convective heat transfer coefficient between the flows if the interface area is 2 m2?
