Chapter 5. Heat exchangers

Heat exchangers are devices that are used to transfer thermal energy from one fluid to another without mixing the two fluids.

2.11 DESCRIBE the difference in the temperature profiles for counter-flow and parallel flow heat exchangers.

2.12 DESCRIBE the differences between regenerative and non-regenerative heat exchangers.

2.13 Given the temperature changes across a heat exchanger, CALCULATE the log mean temperature difference for the heat exchanger.

2.14 Given the formulas for calculating the conduction and convection heat transfer coefficients, CALCULATE the overall heat transfer coefficient of a system.
