The rate of temperature drop of a fluid as it flows along the length of a heat exchanger is not constant. In order to take account of this nonlinear relationship, the logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) is used. If the inlet and outlet temperatures do not differ widely, an arithm...

Double pipe, and shell and tube heat exchangers are most widely used. This chapter deals with heat exchanger fundamentals and design of heat exchangers. Heat transfer ...
This method uses coupled models for calculation of the temperature and pressure fields, i.e., temperatures and pressures of both streams in each sub-exchanger, considering the variation of their physical properties and the axial heat losses Optimum results are obtained when the temperature field alon...
The differential temperature can vary through the heat exchanger. A mean value, LTMD, is used for calculation. It is called Δtm in the general formula above. It can be calculated by the following formula, using the denominations in Figure 6.1.8. In the example with the cheese milk heater...

If the dimensions of the EAHE system are known, calculation of the heat transfer rate can be done either by using the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) method or theε–number of transfer units (NTU) method. In this paper theε–NTU method is used. The outlet temperature of air was...

Numerical Procedure for LMTD Correction Factor Calculation for One Tube and One Shell Pass Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers This paper outlines the application of a numerical procedure to compute the LMTD correction factor for one tube pass and one shell pass, namely 1-1, shell-... F Neves ...
Clearly the simple logarithmic mean temperature difference equation cannot be directly applied in these cases and a correction factor (F) has to be applied to ∆Tm (LMTD) for a simple double pipe heat exchanger. The analysis of multipass and cross-flow geometries is usually presented graphically...
When I see hi and ho in a heat exchanger calculation I think of inside and outside heat transfer coefficient of the tubes. These units are W/m2.K (for example). Q has units of J/s and m kg/s. Therefore your equation is not dimensionally correct.You post should state what you are...
