Training Heat Exchangers — LMTD Method

Heat Exchangers — LMTD Method

Thermodynamics
Intermediate 120 minutes 5 lessons
Analyze and size heat exchangers using the Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) method for parallel-flow, counter-flow, shell-and-tube, and cross-flow configurations.

Learning Objectives

  • Derive and apply the LMTD formula for parallel and counter-flow
  • Use the overall heat transfer coefficient U in design equations
  • Apply LMTD correction factors F for multi-pass and cross-flow exchangers
  • Size heat exchangers given duty, U, and flow arrangement
  • Compare performance of different flow configurations
