Question: A cross - flow heat exchanger ( radiator ) is used to cool a coolant which leaves an engine manifold at 1 0 5 oC

A cross-flow heat exchanger (radiator)is used to cool a coolant which leaves an engine manifold
at 105oC (Cp=3800J.kg-1K-1).A fan draws ambient air (Cp=1005J.kg-1K-1)at 20oC through the heat
exchanger at a rate of 1.0kg.s-1,while a pump circulates the coolant at a rate of 1.0kg.s-1.Both flows
are unmixed. Reference to heat exchanger performance data indicates that a UA value of 1000W.K-1
may be assumed for these conditions. Determine the coolant outlet temperature from the heat
exchanger.
