Heat Exchangers

Summary

Meaning of heat exchangers. Recuperators: the temperature of the medium along the heat exchange surface, the mean temperature gradient, the overall heat transfer coefficient, the heat output, the temperature of the heat exchange surface, the thermal efficiency of the parallel-flow and the counter-flow, the hydraulic calculation. Metal, ceramic, plastic and plate recuperators. Heat pipes. Regenerators.
