It is proposed to cool oil in a counter-current, concentric tube heat exchanger composed of a thin-walled inner tube of 0.02 m diameter carrying oil and thin-walled, perfectly insulated outer tube of 0.05 m diameter carrying water. The oil flow rate is 50.0 kg min-1 and it has to be cooled from 90°C to 40°C using 60 kg min-1 water at 20°C. Calculate the heat load and the outlet water temperature.

It is proposed to cool oil in a counter-current, concentric tube heat
exchanger composed of a thin-walled inner tube of 0.02 m diameter
carrying oil and thin-walled, perfectly insulated outer tube of 0.05 m
diameter carrying water. The oil flow rate is 50.0 kg min-1 and it has to be
cooled from 90°C to 40°C using 60 kg min-1 water at 20°C.

Calculate the heat load and the outlet water temperature.
