In counter flow, hot fluid enters at the point 1 and exits at the point 2 or
cold fluid enter at the point 2 and exit at the point 1.
Given : for hot fluid,
ch = 2 kJ/kg K , mh = 5 kg/ sec , th1 = 150c C , th2 = 100c C
and for cold fluid,
cc = 4 kJ/kg K , mc = 10 kg/ sec , tc2 = 20c C , tc1 = ?
From the energy balance,
Heat transferred by the hot fluid = Heat gain by the cold fluid
o h ch (th1 − th2) = m
m oc cc (tc1 − tc2)
5 # 2 # 103 (150 − 100) = 10 # 4 # 103 (tc1 − 20)
10 4 # 50 = 4 # 10 4 (tc1 − 20)
tc1 = 130 = 32.5c C

Hence, outlet temperature of the cold fluid,
tc1 = 32.5c C
