16.0 Chapter Objectives

On completion of this chapter, a student should be able to:

  • Describe the three common types of heat exchanges described in the chapter

  • Calculate the log mean temperature difference (ΔTlm) for counter/parallel flow heat exchangers

  • Calculate the correction factor (FT) to account for the effect of multipass heat exchangers

  • Define and calculate the heat exchanger effectiveness factor (ε)

  • Define what is meant by the terms mixed and unmixed as applied to a cross-flow-exchanger
