A cross-flow heat exchanger (unmixed-unmixed) is marketed as an oil cooler (same properties as unused engine oil). Oil enters the cooler at a flow rate of 1 g/s and a temperature of 75°C. The oil should be cooled to 65°C. Air is used to cool the oil. The air inlet velocity is 0.406 m/s and the frontal area through which the air flows is 254 mm x 254 mm. The air inlet temperature is 27°C. Take the average temperature of the oil to be 70°C and that of the air to be 27°C. Is this exchanger large enough? Show the details of your answer.
