the stack gas from a chemical operation contain vapors tha must be condensed by lowering its temperature from 315 to 35c. the gas flow rate is 0.70 m/sec. water is vailable at 10C and 1.26 kg/sec. A two shell and 4 pass tube counterflow heat exchange will be used with a water flowing through the tubes. the gas has aspecific heat of 1.10 kj/kg-k and a gas constant of 0.36 kj/kg-k. calculate the LMTD
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.
