A cross-flow heat exchanger is used to heat mixed air from 20 ºC to 45ºC. Water at 75ºC enters the tube and leaves at 45ºC. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 50 W/m^2?ºC and there is to be 30,000 W of heat exchanged, determine the necessary heat exchanger surface area and the mass flow of water.
