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

Explain how the LMTD method can be used to
determine the heat transfer surface area of a multipass shelland-
tube heat exchanger when all the necessary information,
including the outlet temperatures, is given.
