The logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) of a counter flow heat exchanger is 20°C. The cold fluid enters at 20°C and the hot fluid enters at 100°C. Mass flow rate of the cold fluid is twice that of the hot fluid. Specific heat at constant pressure of the hot fluid is twice that of the cold fluid. The exit temperature of the cold fluid
-
- is 40°C
- is 60°C
- is 80°C
- cannot be determined
Correct Option: C
θ1 = θ2
θm = 20°C
Th1 – Tc2 = 20°C
100 – Tc2 = 20°C
Tc2 = 80°C
