A vehicle travelling at 100 km/h has air passing through its radiator at the rate of 100 kg mol per minute. The hot water from cooling the engine is circulated through the radiator at the rate of 10 L per minute, and as it passes through the radiator it is cooled from 78 °C to 32 °C. Assume the car is in good condition so the radiator has no leaks and the air and water do not contact. Given the heat capacity of the air is 1.0035 J·g-1·K-1, what is the temperature of the air exiting the radiator (assume air has a molecular weight of 29 g·mol-1).

Question

A vehicle travelling at 100 km/h has air passing through its radiator at the rate of 100 kg mol

per minute. The hot water from cooling the engine is circulated through the radiator at the

rate of 10 L per minute, and as it passes through the radiator it is cooled from 78 °C to 32 °C.

Assume the car is in good condition so the radiator has no leaks and the air and water do

not contact. Given the heat capacity of the air is 1.0035 J·g-1·K-1, what is the temperature of

the air exiting the radiator (assume air has a molecular weight of 29 g·mol-1).
