Heat Exchanger Analysis

This document analyzes a heat exchanger using the effectiveness-NTU method. It provides input data on flow rates and temperatures for hot and cold fluids, as well as heat exchanger properties. The analysis calculates the heat transfer rate, number of transfer units (NTU), heat exchanger effectiveness, and outlet temperatures. It determines these parameters can be estimated from curves relating effectiveness and NTU.
