Calculation of thermodynamics, temperature effects and heat transfer
Energy and air-conditioning processes are influenced by the mass flow, velocity, heat transfer coefficient and interdependencies between temperature, pressure and the fluid’s state of matter (e.g. air, water, coolant or refrigerant). Heat exchangers working on that basis, such as plate and fin heat exchangers, are used for example as counter-current or cross-flow heat exchangers in many devices and systems in a broad range of industries.
