Variation of the input parameters

In some exceptional cases, the heat exchanger cannot be simulated and therefore not be displayed correctly. This applies in particular to the counter current heat exchanger with the settings where the temperature of the fluids is completely equalized.

Fluid 1:

Mass flow m ˙ 1 = kg/s

Inlet temperature ϑ 1 α = °C

Heat exchanger    Overall heat transfer coefficient k = 1300 W/(m2K)
Flow direction of the fluids in the heat exchanger
Cocurrent
Countercurrent

Heat transfer surface A = m2

Fluid 2:

Mass flow m ˙ 2 = kg/s

Inlet temperature ϑ 2 α = °C

Calculation Table

In the calculation table, equations and results are displayed depending on the input parameters. If the temperature difference α or β drops to 0 K, the calculations are suspended.
