Heat transfer is one of the most important industrial processes. Throughout any industrial operation heat must be added, removed, or moved from one process stream to another. Either keeping heat transfer balanced or indeed improving it is something many engineers strive towards on a daily basis.
To calculate the theoretical heat transfer in a heat exchanger you need to contend with the fact that the driving temperature difference between the two fluids varies with position.
Heavy fouling and blockages will also affect the driving temperature difference thus in turn causing reductions in heat transfer.
