About this document
Approach Temperature in Heat Exchangers by rutabawellars is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses heat exchanger design and equations. It describes two common heat transfer equations involving heat load, mass flow rate, specific heat, temperatures and the overall heat transfer coefficient. It also discusses important heat exchanger concepts like flow patterns, log mean temperature difference, approach temperatures and temperature crosses and how they impact heat transfer efficiency and surface area requirements.
