Heat-Exchangers-and-Mass-Transfer

Hot water having specific heat 4200 J/kg K flows through a heat exchanger at rate of 4 kg/min with an inlet temperature of 100 degree Celsius. A cold fluid having a specific heat 2400 J/kg K flows in at a rate of 8 kg/min and with inlet temperature 20 degree Celsius. Make calculations for maximum possible effectiveness if fluid flow conforms to parallel flow arrangement
