Heat and Mass Transfer
A designer chooses the values of fluid flow rates and specific heats in such a manner that the heat capacities of the two fluids are equal. A hot fluid enters the counter flow heat exchanger at 100°C and leaves at 60°C. A cold fluid enters the heat exchanger at 40°C. The mean temperature difference between the two fluids is_____.
- A. 20°C
- B. 40°C
- C. 60°C
- D. 66.7°C
