Homework Statement

in practice is is assumed well insulated heat exchangers are adiabatic. With reference to this heat exchanger, carry out the necessary calculations and then give an opinion as to the validity of this assumption.

The Attempt at a Solution

can someone point me in the right direction with this question thanks

 

[MechanicalMan]

If it is well insulated and adiabatic (no heat transfer out of the system), then all of the heat energy in the hot fluid will be gained by the cold fluid.

Find the heat lost by the hot fluid and gained by the cold fluid. If they do not match up (which they won't), then talk about possible losses in the system.

any equations to use?

 

[Gokul43201]

What do you think? What are the equations that describe the total heat gained or lost by a body?

Also, what are the units on the various quantities in the question (you're missing some units)?
