Warm water in a geothermal heating system enters the pipe of a radiator at 20 psia and 108°F with a flow rate of 207 cfm (ft³/min). The diameter of the pipe decreases from 3.3" to 2.4" inside the radiator, and heat is transferred from the water to the room at a rate of 1,083 BTU/s. Determine the temperature of the water when it leaves the radiator. Assume any changes in density of the water are negligible.

Question

I solved most of this but need some guidence towards the end after you have m flow rate and both h_2 and h_1. 

Warm water in a geothermal heating system enters the pipe of a radiator at 20 psia and 108°F with a flow rate of 207 cfm (ft³/min).
The diameter of the pipe decreases from 3.3" to 2.4" inside the radiator, and heat is transferred from the water to the room at a rate
of 1,083 BTU/s. Determine the temperature of the water when it leaves the radiator. Assume any changes in density of the water
are negligible.
