Heat Exchangers: Fundamentals and Applications

This lecture covers the fundamentals of heat exchangers, focusing on conduction, convection, and Fourier's Law. It explains the linear temperature profiles, Newton's Law, and the role of heat transfer coefficients. The instructor discusses the design and operation of heat exchangers, emphasizing parallel and counter flow configurations. Additionally, the lecture delves into the concept of thermal resistances and the derivation of the log mean temperature. Practical examples and calculations are provided to illustrate the principles of heat exchangers.
