What is Heat exchanger?
A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power stations, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural-gas processing, and sewage treatment. The classic example of a heat exchanger is found in an internal combustion engine in which a circulating fluid known as engine coolant flows through radiator coils and air flows past the coils, which cools the coolant and heats the incoming air. Another example is the heat sink, which is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant.
How to Calculate Bare Area over Fin leaving Fin Base?
Bare Area over Fin leaving Fin Base calculator uses Bare Area = pi*Outer Diameter*(Height of Crack-Number of Fins*Thickness) to calculate the Bare Area, Bare Area over Fin leaving Fin Base formula is defined as a measure of the effective surface area of a fin that contributes to heat transfer, excluding the area at the base where the fin is attached. Bare Area is denoted by AB symbol.
How to calculate Bare Area over Fin leaving Fin Base using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bare Area over Fin leaving Fin Base, enter Outer Diameter (do), Height of Crack (hc), Number of Fins (NF) & Thickness (t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bare Area over Fin leaving Fin Base calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.960354 = pi*0.26*(12-8*1.2).
