Glycerin (cp=2400J/kgK) at 20oC and 0.5kg/s is heated by ethylene glycol (cp=2500J/kgK at 50oC at the same mass flow rate. The overall heat transfer coefficient for this thin-walled double-pipe parallel flow heat exchanger is 380W/m2K and the heat transfer surface area is 6.5m2.  Determine heat transfer rate for the heat exchanger. Determine the outlet temperatures of both fluids.
