What is a heat exchanger calculator?
The calculator determines the heat transfer area required for a simple heat exchanger. Hot stream flow rate, hot and cold stream inlet and outlet temperatures and heat capacities and the overall heat transfer coefficient are required as inputs. The heat exchanger arrangement may be counter-current, co-current or mixed.
What is a heat transfer calculator?
The calculation methodology is based on that described in “Process Heat Transfer”, D.Q. Kern and “Chemical Engineering Volume 6 – Design”, Coulson & Richardson. The calculator determines the heat transfer area required for a simple heat exchanger.
How to calculate heat exchanger duty?
The heat exchanger duty can be calculated using the following relationship: cold fluid through the heat exchanger. The mean temperature difference used in Equation 1 is generally the log mean temperature difference. The log mean temperature difference is calculated using the terminal temperature differences in the following equation:
