Discuss the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger


Solve the below problem:

Q: A heat exchanger is to heat water (cp = 4.18 kJ/kgC) from 25 to 60°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water (cp = 4.31 kJ/kgc) available at 140°C at a mass flow rate of 0.3 kg/s. Determine the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger and the exit temperature of geothermal water.
