Both the hot and cold fluid has separate inlet then why we just count the inlet of the hot fluid side?

No, the answer is D. If both the fluids at inlet are in their hottest state, then what is the use of heat exchanger. In counterflow, 1 fluid enters in coldest state and leaves hotter while another fluid enters hottest and leaves colder after transferring heat to the counter fluid.

What do mean the inlet of heat exchanger? inlet of fluid is called inlet.

Ravi said:   8 years ago
Yes, Correct @Nikky.

No answer is right. The main concept of the given question was, inlet means at the inlet of the heat exchanger. Not separate inlets of hot and cold fluids. Hot fluid is flowing from left to right and cold fluid is flowing from right to left. Then the given answer should be right.
