HEAT EXCHANGERS
A heat exchanger is a device that is used to
transfer thermal energy between two or more
fluids (OR) between a solid surface and a fluid
(OR) between solid particulates and a fluid,
which are at different temperatures and in
thermal contact.
How does Heat Transfer takes
place?
Heat Transfer takes place due to temperature
difference between two systems.

Temp. variation
arrangement
Counter flow Heat Exchanger
The hot and cold fluids flow parallel to each
other in opposite direction.
