A 1-2 HX passes heats 2.52 kg/s of water from 21.1 to 54.4oC by using hot water under pressure entering at 115.6oC and leaving at 48.9oC. The outside surface area of the tubes in the exchanger is Ao=9.30m2 a. Calculate the mean temperature difference between, ∆Tcorr , in the exchanger and the overall heat transfer coefficient, U b. For the same temperature but using 2-4 exchanger, what would be the ∆Tcorr
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
