    Heat exchangers facilitate heat transfer between two fluids without mixing. They are used widely in applications like heating, cooling, chemical processing, and power production. Heat is transferred via convection through the fluids and conduction through the separating wall. The overall heat transfer coefficient depends on the individual coefficients of each fluid and conductive resistance, with the lower coefficient dominating. Shell and tube, helical coil, and miniature shell and tube are common heat exchanger types. Computational methods like log mean temperature difference and effectiveness-number of transfer units methods are used for heat exchanger design and performance calculations.

    Heat Exchangers

    Heat exchangers
    • Facilitate the exchange of heat transfer between
    two fluids without mixing with each other.
    • Used in wide range of applications, heating and
    air conditioning, chemical processing, and power
    production.
    • Heat transfer in heat exchanger usually involves
    convection through fluids and conduction
    through the wall separating the two fluids.
    Overall heat transfer coefficient
    Overall heat transfer coefficient is based on either the inner side
    or outside tube

    In most of heat exchangers the conductive resistance is very


    small. If one value of h is remarkably lower, it will tend to
    dominate the overall heat transfer coefficient.

    General Considerations

    General Considerations
    • Computational Features/Limitations of the LMTD Method:

     The LMTD method may be applied to design problems for


    which the fluid flow rates and inlet temperatures, as well as
    a desired outlet temperature, are prescribed. For a specified
    Heatexchanger type, the required size (surface area), as well as the other
    outlet temperature, are readily determined.
     If the LMTD method is used in performance calculations for which
    both outlet temperatures must be determined from knowledge of the
    inlet temperatures, the solution procedure is iterative.

     For both design and performance calculations, the effectiveness-NTU


    method may be used without iteration.
    Effectiveness NTU method

    Actual heat transfer


    For parallel flow heat exchanger
    • Maximum possible heat transfer can be attained if one of the
    fluids were to undergo a temperature change equal to the
    maximum temperature difference present in the heat
    exchanger, which is the difference in entering temperatures of
    hot and cold fluid.
    • The fluid that might undergoes the maximum temperature
    difference is the one with the lower specific heat capacity.
