Physics · Heat Transfer
In a counter-flow heat exchanger, if the hot and cold fluids enter at T 1 and T 2 respectively, while the cold fluid leaves at T 3 and the hot fluid leaves at T 4 , then the Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) is given by:
- 1(T 1 - T 3 ) - (T 4 - T 2 ) ln (T 1 - T 3 ) (T 4 - T 2 )✓
- 2(T 1 - T 2 ) - (T 3 - T 4 ) ln (T 1 - T 2 ) (T 3 - T 4 )
- 3(T 1 - T 2 ) + (T 3 - T 4 ) ln (T 1 - T 2 ) (T 3 - T 4 )
- 4(T 1 - T 3 ) - (T 2 - T 4 ) ln (T 1 - T 3 ) (T 2 - T 4 )
Correct answer
(T 1 - T 3 ) - (T 4 - T 2 ) ln (T 1 - T 3 ) (T 4 - T 2 )
