Heat Exchangers are used to heat one fluid with a hotter fluid, to cool a fluid with a colder fluid, to condense a gaseous fluid with a colder fluid, or to boil a liquid with a hotter fluid. In Heat Exchanger Course you will learn about the basic construction of shell and tube and plate type heat exchangers and about counter flow, parallel flow, and cross flow patterns of flow. The heat transfer equation is introduced along with the log mean temperature difference and the overall heat transfer coefficient. The meaning of multi-pass and regenerative heat exchangers is covered and several common heat exchanger applications are discussed.
