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

Consider a heat exchanger that has an NTU of 0.1.
Someone proposes to triple the size of the heat exchanger
and thus triple the NTU to 0.3 in order to increase the effectiveness
of the heat exchanger and thus save energy. Would
you support this proposal?
