Hot oil at 110 ℃ heats water from 30 ℃ to 70 ℃ in a counter-current double-pipe heat exchanger. The flow rates of water and oil are 50 kg min−1 and 100 kg min−1, respectively, and their specific heat capacities are 4.2 kJ kg−1−1 and 2.0 kJ kg−1−1, respectively. Assume the heat exchanger is at steady state. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 200 W m−2−1, the heat transfer area in m2 is __________
A
5.2
B
15.2
C
35.2
D
45.2
