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 Entry temperature of cold fluid?
Entry temperature of cold fluid calculator uses Entry Temperature of Cold Fluid = Entry Temperature of Hot Fluid-(Heat exchanged/(Effectiveness of Heat Exchanger*Smaller Value)) to calculate the Entry Temperature of Cold Fluid, Entry temperature of cold fluid formula is defined as the initial temperature of the cold fluid entering a heat exchanger, which is influenced by the heat transfer rate and the specific heat capacity of the fluid. Entry Temperature of Cold Fluid is denoted by t1 symbol.
How to calculate Entry temperature of cold fluid using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Entry temperature of cold fluid, enter Entry Temperature of Hot Fluid (T1), Heat exchanged (Q), Effectiveness of Heat Exchanger (ϵ) & Smaller Value (Cmin) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Entry temperature of cold fluid calculation can be explained with given input values -> 59.79167 = 60-(50/(8*30)).
