10-64 A counterflow double-pipe heat exchanger is used to heat water from 20 C to 40

C with a hot oil that enters the exchanger at 180 C and leaves at 140 C. The flow rate
of water is 3.0 kg/s and the overall heat-transfer coefficient is 130 W/m2 C. Assume
the specific heat for oil is 2100 J/kg C. Suppose the water-flow rate is cut in half.
What new oil flow rate would be necessary to maintain a 40 C outlet water
temperature? (The oil flow is not cut in half.)
