Effectiveness of Heat Exchanger
The Effectiveness of Heat Exchanger is a measure of how efficiently a heat exchanger transfers heat compared to the maximum possible heat transfer.
Symbol: ϵ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mass Flow Rate of Cold Fluid
The Mass Flow Rate of Cold Fluid is the quantity of cold fluid passing through a system per unit time, crucial for analyzing heat exchanger performance.
Symbol: mc
Measurement: Mass Flow RateUnit: kg/s
