Heat Exchanger Effectiveness (ε)
The heat exchanger effectiveness is defined as the ration of actual heat transfer to the maximum possible heat transfer.
ε=Actual heat transferMaximum possible heat transfer=QQmax
The actual heat transfer rate Q can be determined by writing an energy balance over either side of heat exchanger
Q = ṁh.Cph.(th1 - th2) = ṁc.Cpc.(tc2 - tc1)
