Rate of Heat Transfer using Correction Factor and LMTD Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Heat Transfer = Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient*Area*Correction Factor *Log Mean Temperature Difference
q = U*A*F *ΔT_m
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient - The Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient is a measure of the overall ability of a series of conductive and convective barriers to transfer heat. (Measured in Watt per Meter² per K)
Area - The area is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by an object. (Measured in Square Meter)
Correction Factor- Correction Factor is that which is multiplied with the result of an equation to correct for a known amount of systematic error.
Log Mean Temperature Difference - The log mean temperature difference (LMTD) is a logarithmic average of the temperature difference between the hot and cold streams at each end of the heat exchanger. (Measured in Kelvin)

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient: 0.25 Watt per Meter² per K --> 0.25 Watt per Meter² per K No Conversion Required
Area: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Correction Factor: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Log Mean Temperature Difference: 15 Kelvin --> 15 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q = U*A*F *ΔT_m --> 0.25*50*0.5 *15

Evaluating ... ...

q = 93.75

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

93.75 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

93.75 Watt <-- Heat Transfer
