Flow Distribution and Heat Transfer Equation
Design calculations of a plate heat exhchanger include flow distribution and pressure drop and heat transfer. The former is an issue of Flow distribution in manifolds. The total rate of heat transfer between the hot and cold fluids passing through a plate heat exchanger may be expressed as: Q = UA∆Tm where U is the overall heat transfer coefficient, A is the total plate area, and ∆Tm is the temperature difference. U is dependent upon the heat transfer coefficients in the hot and cold streams.

Famous quotes containing the words flow, distribution, heat, transfer and/or equation:
“I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States. The control which, with Florida, this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the countries and isthmus bordering on it, as well as all those whose waters flow into it, would fill up the measure of our political well-being.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“She knows the heat of a luxurious bed.
Her blush is guiltiness, not modesty.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If it had not been for storytelling, the black family would not have survived. It was the responsibility of the Uncle Remus types to transfer philosophies, attitudes, values, and advice, by way of storytelling using creatures in the woods as symbols.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
