Difference Should Be Positive

This document provides formulas and values for calculating the heat transfer coefficient of a heat exchanger. It inputs volumetric flow rate, densities, heat capacities, temperatures, and surface area values into formulas for heat transfer rate, log mean temperature difference, and overall heat transfer coefficient. The calculation determines the overall heat transfer coefficient is 1743 W/m2/oC.

Heat Transfer Coefficent Calculation

Formaulae Values Input

q = Q * D * Cp * (Ti - To) / 3600 Q 525.5 m3/h


D 1274 kg/m3
q = U * A * Tm / 1000 Cp 3.45 kJ/kg/oC
Ti 100.7 oC
Tm = ((Ti - to) - (To - ti)) / ln((Ti - to) / (To - ti)) To 76.9 oC
ti 51 oC
U = (Q * D * Cp * (Ti - To) * 1000) / (A * Tm * 3600) to 88.3 oC
A 478 m2
q Heat transfer (kW)
Q Volumetric flowrate of Fluid - 1 (m3/h) Ti - to 12.4 oC
Difference
D Density of Fluid - 1 (kg/m3) To - ti 25.9 oC
should be
Cp Heat capacity of Fluid - 1 (kJ/kg/oC) Ti - To 23.8 oC
positive
Ti Inlet temp of Fluid - 1 (oC) to - ti 37.3 oC
To Outlet temp of Fluid - 1 (oC)
ti Inlet temp of Fluid - 2 (oC)
to Outlet temp of Fluid - 2 (oC) Tm 18.329 oC
Tm Log mean temp difference (oC)
U Overall heat transfer coefficient (W/m2/oC) U 1743 w/m2/oC
A Heat exchanger area (m2)

1000 it is used bcoz U is in W and q is in kW


3600 it is used bcoz Q in hrs and for q we need sec
