Question
A heat exchanger is to be designed for a capacity of 100 kW. Water for air conditioning purpose
is to be cooled from 15°C to 5°C in a counter flow arrangement using brine available at -20°C. The value of
overall heat trarsfer coefficient is 650 W/m²K and may be assumed to be constant. The specific heat of brine
is 4167 J/kg-°C.
