In a counter-flow heat exchanger, water is heated at the rate of 1.5 kg/s from 40°C to 80°C by an oil entering at 120°C and leaving at 60°C. The specific heats of water and oil are 4.2 kJ/kg.K and 2 kJ/kg.K respectively. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 400 W/m2.K. The required heat transfer surface area (in m2) is
A
0.104
B
0.022
C
10.4
D
21.84

Correct : d
