In a pharmaceutical application distilled water with a flow rateof 34560 kg/hr is to cool ethyl alcohol in a parallel flow heatexchanger. The alcohol flowing at 31320 kg/hr enters the exchangerat 75oC and is cooled to 45oC. Assuming that the water flowsthrough the tubes and enters the exchanger at 15oC, determine, foran overall heat transfer coefficient of 0.5kW/m2K the dissipationrate, together with the required heat transfer area. The specificheat capacity of both the alcohol and water is 3.84 and4.181kJ/kgK
