The stack gas from a chemical operation contains noxious vapors that must be condensed by lowering its temperature from 315C to 35C. The gas flow rate is 0.70 m^3/s. Water is available at 10C at 1.26kg/s. A counterflow heat exchanger will be used with a water flowing through the tubes. The gas has a specific heat of 1.10 kJ/kg-K and a gas constant of 0.26 kJ/kg-K.       What is the rate of heat lost by the gas in KJ?
