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 Heat exchanged?

Heat exchanged calculator uses Heat exchanged = Correction Factor*Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient*Area*Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference to calculate the Heat exchanged, Heat exchanged formula is defined as a representation of the thermal energy transfer between fluids in a heat exchanger. It quantifies the amount of heat transferred based on the temperature difference, surface area, and overall heat transfer coefficient. Heat exchanged is denoted by Q symbol.
