This chapter focuses on modeling systems for heat power transfer by fluid media and particularly on heat exchangers. The models presented here have various degrees of complexity, but all of them can be used within a system approach. The usage of these models is illustrated on an example of estimation of automotive radiator performances.
On completing this chapter, the reader is expected to be able to:
Many applications used in daily life and in various industrial processes involve heat power transfer between two fluids, without mixing them. Heat exchangers are the technical devices that accomplish this task. In some fields of application this equipment is used on a regular basis:
