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 Specific heat of matrix material?
Specific heat of matrix material calculator uses Specific heat of matrix material = (Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient*Surface Area*Total Time Taken)/(Time Factor*Mass of Solid) to calculate the Specific heat of matrix material, Specific heat of matrix material formula is defined as a measure of the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the matrix material by one degree Celsius, reflecting its thermal properties in heat exchangers. Specific heat of matrix material is denoted by cs symbol.
How to calculate Specific heat of matrix material using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific heat of matrix material, enter Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient (hConv), Surface Area (SA), Total Time Taken (ttotal), Time Factor (n) & Mass of Solid (ML) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific heat of matrix material calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5.454545 = (0.5*18*80)/(8*16.5).
