Heat Exchangers
KEY CONCEPTS
The transfer of thermal energy between fluids is one of the most important and frequently used processes in engineering.
The transfer of heat is usually accomplished by means of a device known as a heat exchanger.
Common applications of heat exchangers is the power plants with boilers, fan coolers, cooling water heat exchangers, and condensers.
8.1 CLASSIFICATION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
Heat exchanger is a device, whose primary purpose is the transfer of heat energy between two fluids. Heat exchangers are classified into regenerators, open-type exchangers, and closed-type exchangers or recuperators. Regenerators are heat exchangers in which hot and cold fluids flow alternately through the same space with as little ...
