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 Length of tube bank?
Length of tube bank calculator uses Length = Mass Flow Rate/(Mass Flux(g)*Number of Tubes*Distance between two Consequent Tubes) to calculate the Length, Length of tube bank formula is defined as a measure of the total length of the tube bank in a heat exchanger, which influences the efficiency of heat transfer and overall performance of the system. Length is denoted by L symbol.
How to calculate Length of tube bank using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of tube bank, enter Mass Flow Rate (m), Mass Flux(g) (G), Number of Tubes (N) & Distance between two Consequent Tubes (TP) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Length of tube bank calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.265816 = 4/(22.8*11*0.06).
