Sample Calculation Heat

This document summarizes the results of calculations performed on a heat exchanger. It calculates the power emitted, power absorbed, power lost, and efficiency. It then calculates the log mean temperature difference, overall heat transfer coefficient, surface area, Reynolds number, Nusselt number, and theoretical and experimental heat transfer coefficients. The percentage error between the theoretical and experimental overall heat transfer coefficients is found to be -30.24%.
