Question 1 / 33:  A countercurrent heat exchanger operates with the following temperatures: cold fluid inlet 15°C, cold fluid outlet 25°C, hot fluid inlet 90°C, and hot fluid outlet 30°C. Calculate the logarithmic-mean temperature difference in °C.
A  45°C
B  30°C
C  27°C
D  25°C
E  50°C
<< First < Previous Flashcard Next > Last >>
Explanation:

The temperature differences at the termini are ΔT1 = 90-25 = 65 °C and ΔT2=30-15 = 15 °C. Hence,ΔTlm = ΔT1- ΔT2/ln(ΔT1/ ΔT2)= 27.3 °C.
