  1. An industrial gas (c = 1 kJ/kgK) enters a parallel flow heat exchange at 250°C with a flow rate of 2 kg/s to heat a water stream. The water stream (c = 4 kJ/kgK) enters the heat exchange at 50°C with a flow rate of 1 kg/s. The heat exchange has an effectiveness of 0.75. The gas stream exit temperature will be
    1. 75°C
    2. 100°C
    3. 125°C
    4. 150°C
Correct Option: B


ε =
Ch(Th1 - Th2)
Cmin(Thi - Tci)

0.75 =
2 ×(250 - Th2)
2 ×(250 - 50)

Th2 = 100° C
