Demystifying the heat transfer process
March 1st 2011 Continuing its policy of demystifying
technology, Alfa Laval has updated
its pamphlet 'The theory behind Heat
Transfer' which provides a simple, yet
detailed explanation of how and why
heat is transferred from one medium
to another.
The pamphlet explains the natural
laws of physics which dictate that the
driving energy in a system must flow
until equilibrium is reached. It then
explains direct heat exchangers
before concentrating on the indirect
variety, starting
with how different
physical
characteristics
dictate thermal
performance and
demonstrating how
to calculate heat
load and heat transfer coefficient.
