500 Liter / hour flow rate and 3.7 ° C cold water is heated up to 30 ° C by using a counter flow plate heat exchanger with 1000 Liter / hour flow rate and 90.3 ° C hot water. Hot water outlet temperature is 73.4 ° C. Calculate the K, heat transmission value (W / m2K) of the plate heat exchanger used for heating cold water. (Note: 0 ° C = 273.15 K, Plate heat exchanger area = 1.5 m2)
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.
