2. What are heat exchangers for?
 Heat exchangers are practical devices used to transfer energy
from one fluid to another
 To get fluid streams to the right temperature for the next
process
– reactions often require feeds at high temp.
 To condense vapours
 To evaporate liquids
 To recover heat to use elsewhere
 To reject low-grade heat
 To drive a power cycle

3. Effectiveness
E = actual heat transfer /maximum possible heat
transfer
