This lecture delves into the analysis of heat transfer in process units, focusing on heat exchangers and heat pumps. The instructor explains how to model and calculate heat loads, temperatures, and pressures in a system, emphasizing the importance of balancing mass and energy. By examining flow sheets and interconnected units, students learn to determine the thermodynamic state of flows and optimize energy efficiency through sequential and simultaneous solving approaches.
