Heat exchangers are very interesting devices that facilitate heat exchange between two fluids in a wide range of applications, from heating and air conditioning systems in homes to chemical processes and power production in large plants.
This episode examines the essentials of heat exchanger technology, including their types, thermal resistance, and the impact of fouling on efficiency. We also simplify NTU (Number of Transfer Units) calculations and highlight their application in real-life engineering scenarios, providing practical insights for maximizing performance.
