Question: 1 . A cross flow type air heater with both fluids unmixed has an area of 5 0 m 2 and the overall heat transfer

1. A cross flow type air heater with both fluids unmixed has an area of 50 m2 and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 45 W/m2-K. The flow rate of both hot and cold air are 1 kg/s. Hot air enters at 600C and cold air enters at 200C. Determine the exit temperatures of both streams. Also determine the exit temperature if (i) the flow rate of both fluids is halved and (ii) the flow rates are doubled. Compare the heat flow rates.
