heat exchanger heat transfer

Heat exchangers are apparatuses designed to transfer heat from one place to another. Their function is to extract heat from a liquid such as hot water or steam and direct it towards another like cold water or air. This process by which the heat is transferred from one fluid to another is called as Heat Transfer. Since heat exchangers are applied in a lot of places such as factories, power plants or even our homes they become very important. Below them, how would we manage heat in these systems?

In order to have a clear picture of the operation mechanism behind heat exchangers, few things about how hear transfer works are explained. Heat is a form of energy that flows from hot to cold objects. When you touch a hot stove for example, heat is transferred from the stove to your hand which in turn makes it feel warm. Here is a good reason to be wary of hot surfaces. There are three mechanisms to the movement of heat- conduction,convection and radiation.

The Science Behind Heat Transfer in Heat Exchangers

Convection happens when heat is carried away by moving fluids like air and water. It is a very significant heat transfer mechanism in the case of various type of devices like Heat exchangers. As an example, hot water flows through a heat exchanger and by convection drops off its heat with the cold water that is also flowing through the exchanger.

It is a heat transfer process called radiation, which occurs without any direct contact between the objects. As an example, consider how the Earth is heated by the sun in a simple way. This is because the heat from the sun travels through space — but since there are no molecules in a vacuum, it warms our planet up without having to touch us.
