Concept explainers

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.

Question

Show that the temperature profile of two fluid streams
(hot and cold) that have the same heat capacity rates is parallel to
each other at every section of the counter flow heat exchanger.

Water flowing in a long, aluminum lube is to be heated by air flowing perpendicular to the exterior of the tube. The ID of the tube is 1.85 cm, and its OD is 2.3 cm.
