Question

Consider a counter-flow heat exchanger with the inlet temperatures of two fluids (1 and 2) being T1,in=300T_{1, in} = 300 K and T2,in=350T_{2, in} = 350 K. The heat capacity rates of the two fluids are C1=1000C_1 = 1000 W/K and C2=400C_2 = 400 W/K, and the effectiveness of the heat exchanger is 0.5. The actual heat transfer rate is _____ kW.
