Lecture 36

The above relation is true for both the condition

Similarly the functional relationship for counter –current exchanger is

(8.16)


(8.17)

The previous relation (eq. 8.16 and 8.17) were for 1-1 exchanger. The relation for 1-2 exchanger (counter current) is given by eq. 8.18, 8.19),

(8.18)

 

 

(8.19)

When the fluid streams are condensing in a 1-1 pass exchanger (fig. 8.15) as shown below,

Fig.8.15: Condenser with the temperature nomenclature

the following relation arrives.
