In order to cool a mass flow rate of 55 Kg/h of air (cp = 1060 J/KgoC) at 300o C, it is passed through the tube side of a counter flow heat exchanger with a length of 2 m and 2.54 cm tube outer diameter. The cooling water, (cp = 4182 J/Kg o C and ρ = 1000 Kg/m3 ), enters the heat exchanger at a temperature of 30o  C with a volume flow rate of 0.6 Litre/min. If the overall heat transfer coefficient, U, is 5.83 W/m2oC and the effectiveness of the heat exchanger 60 %, calculate the following: a. The heat transfer rate, b. The exit temperatures of both the water and the air, c- The surface area of the heat exchanger,
