Evaluate the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger


Solve the below problem:

Q: Cold water (cp = 4.18 kJ/kg -c °C) leading to a shower enters a thin-walled double-pipe counter-flow heat exchanger at 15°C at a rate of 0.60 kg/s and is heated to 45°C by hot water (cp = 4.19 kJ/kg -c °C) that enters at 100°C at a rate of 3 kg/s. Determine the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger and the exit temperature of the hot water.
