In the course of research the authors have collected a number of transfer functions for various types of heat exchangers. For the convenience of analysis the heat exchangers may be classified into several basic types described in subsequent pages. In each case certain assumptions are made when one writes down the differential equations of the heat exchanger, which constitute the so‐called mathematical model of the exchanger. If a particular heat exchanger is being classified, it is important to know the nature of temperature variation and the relative directions of flow of the exchanging fluid streams. If the heat exchanger in question matches one of the types described, then the transfer functions listed may be used to obtain its theoretical frequency and transient responses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
