Heat Transfer Coefficent Calculation

Formaulae Values Input

q = Q * D * Cp * (Ti - To) / 3600 Q 525.5 m3/h

D 1274 kg/m3
q = U * A * Tm / 1000 Cp 3.45 kJ/kg/oC
Ti 100.7 oC
Tm = ((Ti - to) - (To - ti)) / ln((Ti - to) / (To - ti)) To 76.9 oC
ti 51 oC
U = (Q * D * Cp * (Ti - To) * 1000) / (A * Tm * 3600) to 88.3 oC
A 478 m2
q Heat transfer (kW)
Q Volumetric flowrate of Fluid - 1 (m3/h) Ti - to 12.4 oC
Difference
D Density of Fluid - 1 (kg/m3) To - ti 25.9 oC
should be
Cp Heat capacity of Fluid - 1 (kJ/kg/oC) Ti - To 23.8 oC
positive
Ti Inlet temp of Fluid - 1 (oC) to - ti 37.3 oC
To Outlet temp of Fluid - 1 (oC)
ti Inlet temp of Fluid - 2 (oC)
to Outlet temp of Fluid - 2 (oC) Tm 18.329 oC
Tm Log mean temp difference (oC)
U Overall heat transfer coefficient (W/m2/oC) U 1743 w/m2/oC
A Heat exchanger area (m2)

1000 it is used bcoz U is in W and q is in kW

3600 it is used bcoz Q in hrs and for q we need sec
