A double-pipe counter-flow heat exchanger is to cool ethylene glycol (Cp = 2560 J/kg · °C) flowing at a rate of 3.5 kg/s from 80°C to 40°C by water (Cp = 4180 J/kg · °C) that enters at 20°C and leaves at 55°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inner surface area of the tube is 250 W/m2 · °C. Determine the rate of heat transfer.

A heat exchanger is used to condense steam coming off the turbine of a steam power plant by cold water from a nearby lake. The cold water (cp = 4.18 kJ/kg⋅ºC) enters the condenser at 16ºC at a rate of 20 kg/s and leaves at 25ºC while the steam condenses at 45ºC (hfg=2395 kJ/kg). The condenser is not insulated and it is estimated that heat at a rate of 8 kW is lost from the condenser to the surrounding air. Determine the mass flow rate at which the steam condenses.
