I need the answer as soon as possible
An air-cooled condenser has an h value of 30 W/m2-K based on the air-side area. The air-side heat transfer area is 190 m2 with air entering at 27°C and leaving at 40°C. If the condensing temperature is constant at 49°C, what is the air mass flow rate in kg/s? Let Cp(air) = 1.006 kJ/kg-K. Draw and label the temperature-flow diagram. Round off your answer to three (3) decimal places.
