Heat exchanger effectiveness
• Generally for all exchanger
• Losses to surrounding  0
• Then: Q cold fluid = Q hot fluid
• mccp_c(tc,o-tc,i)=mhcp_h(th,i-th,o)

• Effectiveness
 = Q exchanged / Q maximum = Q cold or hot fluid / Q maximum

Example
Assume that the residential heat recovery system is counterflow heat exchanger
with ε=0.5.
Calculate Δtm for the residential heat recovery system if : mcp,hot= 0.8· mc p,cold

For ε = 0.5 → th,o=52 ºF, tc,o=48 ºF

What about crossflow heat

• We can often neglect conduction through pipe walls


• Sometime more important to add fouling coefficients
Example
The air to air heat exchanger in the heat recovery system from
previous example has flow rate of fresh air of 200 cfm.

With given:
h Internal  10 Btu/hsfF , R cond  0.002 sfF/Btu/h , h External  10 Btu/hsfF
Calculate the needed area of heat exchanger A0=?

Solution: Q = mcp,cold Δtcold = mcp,hot Δthot = U0A0Δtm

From heat exchanger side: Q = U0A0Δtm → A0 = Q/ U0Δtm


U0 = 1/(RInternal+RCond+RFin+RExternal) = (1/10+0.002+0+1/10) = 4.95 Btu/hsfF
Δtm = 16.5 F
From air side: Q = mcp,cold Δtcold =
= 200cfm·60min/h·0.075lb/cf·0.24Btu/lbF·16 = 3456 Btu/h
Then: A0 = 3456 / (4.95·16.5) = 42 sf
For Air-Liquid Heat Exchanger
we need Fin Efficiency
• Assume entire fin is at fin base temperature
• Maximum possible heat transfer
• Perfect fin
• Efficiency is ratio of actual heat transfer to tF,m
perfect case
  (tF , m  t ) /(tF , B  t )
• Non-dimensional parameter
