1.1 Introduction
Heat exchangers are devices that provide the transfer of thermal
energy between two or more fluids at different temperatures. Heat
exchangers are used in a wide variety of applications, such as power
production, process, chemical and food industries, electronics,
environmental engineering, waste heat recovery, manufacturing
industry, air-conditioning, refrigeration, space applications, etc.

1.2CONSTRUCTION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
A heat exchanger consists of heat-exchanging elements such
as a core or matrix containing the heat transfer surface, and
fluid distribution elements such as headers or tanks, inlet and
outlet nozzles or pipes, etc. Usually, there are no moving parts
in the heat exchanger; however, there are exceptions, such as
a rotary regenerator in which the matrix is driven to rotate at
some design speed and a scraped surface heat exchanger in
which a rotary element with scraper blades continuously
rotates inside the heat transfer tube. The heat transfer surface
is in direct contact with fluids through which heat is
transferred by conduction. The portion of the surface that
separates the fluids is referred to as the primary or direct
contact surface. To increase heat transfer area, secondary
surfaces known as fins may be attached to the primary surface

2.1 THE OVERALL HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT
A heat exchanger typically involves two flowing fluids
separated by a solid wall. Heat is first transferred from the hot
fluid to the wall by convection , through the wall by
conduction, and from the wall to the cold fluid again by
convection. Any radiation effects are usually included in the
convection heat transfer coefficients. The thermal resistance
network associated with this heat transfer process involves
two convection and one conduction resistances, as shown in
Figure. Here the subscripts i and o represent the inner and
outer surfaces of the inner tube. For a double-pipe heat
exchanger, we have 𝑨𝒊 = 𝝅𝑫𝒊𝑳 and 𝑨𝒐 = 𝝅𝑫𝒐𝑳, and the
thermal resistance of the tube wall in this case is
𝑅𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑙 =
ln(
𝐷𝑜
𝐷𝑖
)
2𝜋𝑘𝐿

10

where k is the thermal conductivity of the wall material and L is the length of
the tube. Then the total thermal resistance becomes:
In the analysis of heat exchangers, it is convenient to combine all the thermal resistances in the
path of heat flow from the hot fluid to the cold one into a single resistance R, and to express the
rate of heat transfer between the two fluids as:
Where :
 U = Overall heat transfer coefficient
 h = convection heat transfer coefficient
 R = thermal resistance
Total heat transfer coefficient (Overall heat transfer coefficient):

11

For the case where the pipe wall is
very thick and has a very high k value,
the conduction resistance is
approximately zero (Rwall ≈ 0 )
Therefore, the Overall heat transfer
coefficient (U) value can be written as

2.2 Analysis of Heat Exchangers
In considering the analysis of heat transfer of heat exchanger equipment Must
assume the following assumptions:
The heat exchanger must be a Steady flow device.
Fluid properties And the velocity of the fluid is constant.
No changes in Kinetic and potential energy.
Has a specific heat capacity.
 No heat conduction in the direction of the length of the pipe.
The outer walls of heat exchanger are insulated.
No heat loss to the environment.
Heat transfer occurs between only 2 types of fluids.

The rate of heat transfer from the hot side fluid = The rate of heat transfer
into the cold side fluid.
Where:
the subscripts c and h stand for cold and hot fluids, respectively, and
𝑚𝑐, 𝑚ℎ = mass flow rates
Cpc, Cph = specific heats
Tc, out, Th, out = outlet temperatures
Tc, in, Th, in = inlet temperatures

2.3 THE LOG MEAN TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE METHOD
Consider Newton’s Law of Cooling
𝑄 = 𝑈𝐴𝑠∆𝑇𝑚
where ∆𝑇𝑚 is the difference between average temperatures
Both types of fluids
To find the value ∆𝑇𝑚 is determined by the flow of
Fluid that flows in the same direction in
double pipe heat exchanger. will get the equation for ∆𝑇𝑚 as:
∆𝑇𝑙𝑚 =
∆𝑇1 − ∆𝑇2
ln(
∆𝑇1
∆𝑇2
)

15

To calculate ∆𝑇𝑙𝑚, dividing the flow of fluid into 2 types which are:
Both types of fluids flow in the same direction (Parallel flow)
Two fluids flowing in opposite directions (Counter flow)
For (Parallel flow) (Counter flow)
∆𝑇𝑙𝑚 =
∆𝑇1 − ∆𝑇2
ln(
∆𝑇1
∆𝑇2
)

16

2.4 Multipass and Cross-Flow Heat Exchangers: Use of a Correction
Factor
The Calculation for ∆𝑇𝑚 using the formula mentioned above Will be used for double pipe
heat exchangers that are parallel flow or counter flow only.
For Cross flow or Multipass shell and tube heat exchanger, Correction factor: F is required to
calculate ∆𝑇𝑚.
where F will depend on The shape of the heat exchanger The temperature of the fluid at the
entrance And the fluid temperature at the exit
∆𝑇𝑙𝑚 = 𝐹∆𝑇𝑙𝑚,𝐶𝐹

2.5 THE EFFECTIVENESS–NTU METHOD
Heat exchanger method analysis method 2 is the NTU Effectiveness method. Which is commonly used to
find the rate of heat transfer And the fluid temperature at the device exit.
By knowing the various values such as the type and size of the device. Fluid flow rate And the temperature
of the fluid at the entrance.
NTU method is calculated using the relationship of Number of Transfer Unit (NTU) and Heat Transfer
