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 Mass Flowrate of Fluid in Storage type Heat Exchanger?
Mass Flowrate of Fluid in Storage type Heat Exchanger calculator uses Mass Flowrate = (Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient*Surface Area*Distance from Point to YY Axis)/(Specific heat of fluid*Location factor) to calculate the Mass Flowrate, The Mass flowrate of fluid in storage type heat exchanger formula is defined as the amount of fluid transferred or moved within the area in unit time. Mass Flowrate is denoted by m symbol.
How to calculate Mass Flowrate of Fluid in Storage type Heat Exchanger using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Mass Flowrate of Fluid in Storage type Heat Exchanger, enter Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient (hConv), Surface Area (SA), Distance from Point to YY Axis (x), Specific heat of fluid (c) & Location factor (E) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Mass Flowrate of Fluid in Storage type Heat Exchanger calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.135 = (0.5*18*1.5)/(10*10).
