What is Heat exchanger?

A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power stations, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural-gas processing, and sewage treatment. The classic example of a heat exchanger is found in an internal combustion engine in which a circulating fluid known as engine coolant flows through radiator coils and air flows past the coils, which cools the coolant and heats the incoming air. Another example is the heat sink, which is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant.

How to Calculate Mass flow rate of hot fluid?

Mass flow rate of hot fluid calculator uses Mass flow rate of hot fluid=(Effectiveness of Heat Exchanger*Smaller value /Specific heat of hot fluid)*(1/((Entry temperature of hot fluid-Exit temperature of cold fluid)/(Entry temperature of hot fluid-Entry temperature of cold fluid))) to calculate the Mass flow rate of hot fluid, The Mass flow rate of hot fluid formula is defined as the amount of hot fluid flowing per unit time in the heat exchanger.
