Question: A chemical ( Cp = 3 . 3 kJ / kgK ) following at the rate of 2 0 0 0 0 kg / hr

A chemical (Cp =3.3 kJ/kgK) following at the rate of 20000 kg/hr enters aparallel flow heat exchanger at 120\deg C. The flow rate of cooling water (Cp =4.186 kJ/kg K) is 50000 kg/h with an inlet temperature of 20\deg C. The heat-transfer surface area is 10 m2 and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 1050W/m2K. Calculate the (a) effectiveness of the heat exchanger, and (b) outlettemperatures of water and chemical.
