A heat exchanger is used to cool oil (with cp = 2.2 kJ/kg.°C) from 170 to 50°C by water (with cp = 4.18 kJ/kg.°C) that enters the heat exchanger at a rate of 2 kg/s and inlet temperature of 10°C. If the flow rate of the oil is 1.5 kg/s, determine the exit temperature of water and the heat transfer rate from the oil.

A heat exchanger is used to cool oil (with cp = 2.2 kJ/kg.°C) from 170 to 50°C by water (with cp = 4.18 kJ/kg.°C) that enters the heat exchanger at a rate of 2 kg/s and inlet temperature of 10°C. If the flow rate of the oil is 1.5 kg/s, determine the exit temperature of water and the heat transfer rate from the oil.
