respectively. The heat capacity rates of hot and cold fluids are Ch = 2000 W/K and Cc =
1200 W/K, respectively. If the outlet temperature of the cold fluid is 45°C, find log mean
temperature difference (LMTD) of the heat exchanger in K. [KME 501.5, L3]

rate of 10500kg/h. The steam enters the heat exchanger at 180 0C and leaves at 1300C. The inlet and
exit temperatures of water are 300C and 800C respectively. If overall heat transfer coefficient from
