I am reviewing methods of assessing systems in heat transfer. One of the method I have run across for looking at single pass heat exchangers is log mean temperature difference (LMTD). What is the advantage of using LMTD instead of the basic/arithmetic difference in temperatures?

Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.

Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.

Task 2 Your second customer wants to choose a parallel-flow-plate-type heat exchanger that contains two fluids (oil and water) separated by a thin metal sheet as shown in figure 1 for cooling the lubricating oil.
