Basic Equations in Design

Fluid temperature variation in parallel-

flow, counter flow, evaporator, and

condenser heat exchangers:

(a) counter flow;

(b) parallel flow;

(c) cold fluid evaporating at constant

temperature;

(d) hot fluid condensing at constant

temperature.

A is the total hot-side or cold-side heat transfer area

ΔTm is a function of Th1, Th2, Tc1, and Tc2

U is the average overall heat transfer coefficient based on that area

Rt is the total thermal resistance t is the thickness of the wall

hi and ho are heat transfer coefficients for inside and outside flows

Rw The wall resistance

overall Heat Transfer Coefficient

Finned wall.

Ao and Ai represent the total

surface area of the outer and

inner surfaces

δ is the fin thickness and L is the fin length

If a straight or pin fin of length L and uniform cross section is used and an adiabatic tip is

assumed, then the fin efficiency is given by:

for adiabatic, steady-state, steady flow, the energy balance yields

Ch and Cc are the hot- and cold-fluid heat capacity rates

+ and – signs correspond to parallel- and counter flow

Heat transfer area dA may also be expressed as:

for counter flow

which, when integrated with constant values of U, Ch, and Cc over the entire length of the heat

exchangers, results in

It can be shown that for a parallel-flow heat exchanger

16


ΔT1 is the temperature difference between the two fluids at one end of the heat exchanger

and ΔT2 is the temperature difference of the fluids at the other end of the heat exchanger.

ΔTm is the true (or effective)

mean temperature difference

and

ΔTlm,cf is the LMTD for a

counter flow arrangement

P is the temperature effectiveness of the heat

exchanger on the cold-fluid side.

R is the ratio of the (mcp) value of the cold

fluid to that of the hot fluid

The ε-NTU Method for Heat Exchanger Analysis

where Cmin and Cmax are the smaller and larger of the two

magnitudes of Ch and Cc, respectively, and C* ≤ 1. C* = 0

corresponds to a finite Cmin and Cmax approaching ∞ (a

condensing or evaporating fluid).
