How to calculate the Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient? Heat exchanger setup typically involves two flowing fluids separated by a solid wall. Heat is first transferred from the hot
Definition Compact heat exchanger can be characterized by its high ‘area density’ this means that is has a high ratio of heat transfer surface to heat exchanger volume.
Pipe friction head loss calculation Pipe friction head loss calculation is important for sizing pumps, several equations have been developed to calculate pipe friction head loss, this article
What is the Difference between Fanning friction factor and Darcy friction factor? Fanning friction factor The Fanning friction factor is defined as follows: ff = fd /4 Where;
Hazen-Williams equation is a popular approach for the calculation of head loss of liquid in piping systems. In this method, Hazen-Williams coefficient is introduced to the equation, the
