Question: Engine jacket water will be used to cool engine lube oil using a finned, double tube heat exchanger. Oil flowing at 4 kg / s

Engine jacket water will be used to cool engine lube oil using a finned, double tube heat exchanger.
Oil flowing at 4 kg/s is cooled from 80C to 60C by jacket water entering at a temperature of 35C and
leaving at 55C.
