A liquid-to-gas counterflow heat exchanger is used to cool gas from 32°C to 18°C. Assuming that the liquid enters at 7°C and leaves at 15°C, calculate the log mean temperature difference in °C. Draw and label the temperature-flow diagram. Round off your answer to three (3) decimal places.
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.
