Week 2 - Lec 1 - Design and Simulation (NTU Method)

The document discusses heat exchanger design and simulation using the ε-NTU method. It introduces the concepts of number of transfer units (NTU) and heat exchanger effectiveness (ε), and their significance for heat exchanger design and simulation. Diagrams are presented showing how ε is calculated based on the log mean temperature difference and the maximum possible temperature difference for a heat exchanger.
