In a concentric counter flow heat exchanger, water flows through the inner tube at 25°C and leaves at 42°C. The engine oil enters at 100°C and flows in the annular flow passage. The exit temperature of the engine oil is 50°C. Mass flow rate of water and the engine oil are 1.5 kg/s and 1 kg/s, respectively. The specific heat of water and oil are 4178 J/kg·K and 2130 J/kg·K, respectively. The effectiveness of this heat exchanger is _______
Correct : 0.66
