Question:

The oil in an engine is cooled by air in a cross-flow heat exchanger where both fluids are unmixed. Atmospheric air enters at 30°C and 0.53 kg/s. Oil at 0.026 kg/s enters at 75°C and flows through a tube of 10-mm diameter. Assuming fully developed flow and constant wall heat flux, estimate the oil-side heat transfer coefficient. If the overall convection coefficient is 53 W/m2 ∙ K and the total heat transfer area is 1 m2, determine the effectiveness. What is the exit temperature of the oil?
