Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient and the rate of heat flow from the hot gasses to the cold air in the cross flow tube-bank of heat exchanger shown in the accompanying illustration for the following operating conditions

Air flow rate = 0.4 kg/s.
Hot gas flow rate = 0.65 kg/s.
Temperature of hot gasses entering exchanger = 870°C.
Temperature of cold air entering exchanger = 40°C.
Both gases are approximately at atmospheric pressure.
