In a large air-conditioning application, 1500 m3/min of air at 1 atm and 10◦C are tobe heated in a finned-tube heat exchanger with hot water entering the exchanger at 80◦C. The overall heat-transfer coefficient is 50 W/m2 · ◦C. Calculate the requiredarea for the heat exchanger for an exit air temperature of 37◦C and exit water temperature of 48◦C
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.
