CALCULATION STEPS: Cp hot@48̊ C = 4.181 kJ/kg. K

VH and VC (convert LPM to m3/s) Cp cold@28̊ C = 4.179 kJ/kg. K

A = 0.067 m2
ṁH/ ṁC = V̇H/ V̇C x ρ
ρ = 988.1 kg/m3
Minimum heat capacity, Cmin = ṁC x Cp cold @ 28 °C

Heat capacity, qH = ṁH. Cp hot (THin – TH out)

Max heat transfer, q max = Cmin (TH in – TC in)
