Answer:
A. The rate of heat transfer through the material would increase.
Explanation:
To calculate the heat transfer in a heat exchanger you decide that there is not heat leakage to the surroundings, that means that magnitude of the two transfer rates will be equal. Any heat lost by the hot fluid, is gained by the cold fluid. The equation that describes this is Q = m×Cp×dT
Where:
heat = mass flow ×specific heat capacity × temperature difference
So if we increase the rate of flow of cooling water and the other variables that ypu can control remain the same, the result is that the rate of heat transfer through the material would increase, as it is stated in option a.
