Exhaust gases from a power plant are used to preheat air in a cross-flow heat exchanger. The exhaust gases enter the heat exchanger at 450°C and leave at 200°C. The air enters the heat exchanger at 70°C, leaves at 250°C, and has a mass flow rate of 10 kg/s. Assume the properties of the exhaust gases can be approximated by those of air. The overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 154 W/(m2 K). Calculate the heat exchanger surface area required if (a) the air is unmixed and the exhaust gases are mixed and (b) both fluids are unmixed.
