We wish to select a heat exchanger which will yield & = 0.75, using stainless steel fin materials. Calculate the UA required to obtain & = 0.75. Calculate UA by e-NTU methods and state why the LMTD method is difficult to use. For the & -NTU methods, first use the graphical method and then the equation.
