Given : θm = 20c C , tc1 = 20c C , th1 = 100c C

oc = 2m oh & m oc
m o =2 ...(i)

c ph = 2c pc & ph = 2 ...(ii)
c pc
Energy balance for counter flow is,
Heat lost by hot fluid = Heat gain by cold fluid
mo h c ph (th1 − th2) = moc c pc (tc2 − tc1)
c ph oc
(t − t ) = m
o h (tc2 − tc1)
c pc h1 h2 m
2 (th1 − th2) = 2 (tc2 − tc1)
th1 − tc2 = th2 − tc1
θ1 = θ2 ...(iii)
And θm = θ1 − θ2 ...(iv)
ln b θ1 l
θ2
Substituting the equation (iii) in equation (iv), we get undetermined form.
Let θ1 = x , & θ1 = θ2 x ...(v)
θ2
Substitute θ1 in equation(iv),
θ (x − 1)
θm = lim θ2 x − θ2 = lim 2 ...(vi)
ln b θ
θ2 l
x"1 2x x"1 ln x

0
: 0 D form, So we apply L-Hospital rule,
θ (1 − 0)
θm = lim 2 = lim x θ2
x"1 1 x"1
x
θm = θ2 = θ1 From equation(iii)
Now we have to find exit temperature of cold fluid (tc2),
So, θm = θ1 = th1 − tc2
tc2 = th1 − θm = 100 − 20 = 80c C
