3. An oil heater heats 100 kg per minute of oil from 30°C to 100°C in a counter-flow heat exchanger. The average specific heat of the oil is 2.5 k]/kg-"C. Exhaust gases used for heating enter the heater with an average specific heat of 1 kJ/kg-'C, a mass flow rate of 200 kg/min and an initial temperature of 200'C. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 80 W/m2 -C. Determine the heating surface area in m2.
