how to find final temperature of a fluid in an heat exchanger?
First Law of Thermodynamics:
$$
\Delta U = Q + W
$$
(or $\Delta U = Q - W$ if you are a weirdo...)
A continuous, steady state heat exchanger at constant pressure can be modeled as
$$
\Delta \dot H = \...

Advice needed on how to cool 50 ml liquid from 60 °C to 30 °C
If you're wondering how long it would take in order to cool that liquid.
$$mc_p\frac{dT}{dt} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}h + \frac{\Delta x}k}A(T_C-T) $$
Where:
$m$ is the mass of liquid
$c_p$ is the heat ...

Place it in an ice bath with a stirrer.
As Q=m Cp (T2 - T1)
and increasing the container surface area in contact with the ice will improve the rate of heat transfer.
