heat exchanger heat transfer relationship The

uses the total heat transfer coefficient and the logarithmic average temperature difference to calculate the heat transfer rate.

Q˙=UAΔTlm\dot Q=UA\Delta T_{\mathrm{lm}}

symbols, variables and units

Q̇:W;U:W/(m²·K);A:m²;ΔT_lm:K。

applicable conditions and boundaries

Steady state, U is approximately constant; complex flow patterns require a temperature difference correction factor.
