כיצד לחשב את Heat Exchanger

learn.whatIsHeading

Heat exchanger effectiveness and sizing depend on flow rates, temperatures, and heat transfer area. Design ensures adequate thermal transfer.

נוסחה

Calculate: Q = U×A×ΔT_lm (log mean temperature difference)
Q
U×A×ΔT_lm (log mean temperature difference) — U×A×ΔT_lm (log mean temperature difference)
U
U value — Variable used in the calculation
A
A value — Variable used in the calculation

מדריך שלב אחר שלב

  1. 1Calculate: Q = U×A×ΔT_lm (log mean temperature difference)
  2. 2Account for flow arrangement (counterflow, cross-flow, parallel)
  3. 3Size area for required heat transfer

Worked Examples

קלט
Q = 50 kW, U = 2000 W/m²·K, ΔT_lm = 10 K
תוצאה
A ≈ 2.5 m² required
Determines exchanger size

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using arithmetic mean instead of log mean temperature difference
  • Neglecting fouling resistance

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is counterflow more efficient?

Counterflow maximizes temperature driving force throughout; parallel-flow has smaller LMTD.

What determines overall U coefficient?

U depends on fouling, scale, fluid properties. Typical 500-5000 W/m²·K depending on fluids.
