  1. Hot oil is cooled from 80 to 50°C in an oil cooler which uses air as the coolant. The air temperature rises from 30 to 40°C. The designer uses a LMTD value of 26°C. The type of heat exchanger is
    1. parallel flow
    2. double pipe
    3. counter flow
    4. cross flow
Correct Option: D

θ =
θ1 - θ2
ln
θ1
θ2

θ1 = 50° , θ2 = 10°
θ1 = 40° , θ2 = 20°
As given value is between these two, so cross flow is the best option.
