Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In heat exchangers, which process is primarily utilized?
  • Step 1: Understand that heat exchangers are devices used to transfer heat between two or more fluids.
  • Step 2: Identify the three main processes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
  • Step 3: Recognize that conduction is the transfer of heat through solid materials.
  • Step 4: Understand that convection is the transfer of heat through fluids (liquids or gases) by the movement of the fluid itself.
  • Step 5: Know that radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, which can occur in a vacuum.
  • Step 6: Conclude that heat exchangers primarily use conduction and convection for efficient heat transfer between fluids.
