Forward integration along tubeside stream for rating multi-pass countercurrent cross-flow heat exchangers
Abstract
An iterative method is described for the incremental rating of a given air-cooled countercurrent cross-flow heat exchanger, with the inlet temperatures given and the outlet temperatures to be determined. The air outlet profile is estimated and the inlet profile calculated from it, until calculated and given air side inlet conditions agree closely. The developed method shows very good convergence.
