Heat Exchanger by F.D. Drake, 1988 An energy balance combined with steam property calculations serves to determine the flow rate of fluid 1 to achieve a desired cooling or heating effect on fluid 2. Fluid 1 can be water with or without phase change or any other fluid without phase change. The properties of fluid 2 can also be specified by the user. The mass flow rate of fluid 1 is calculated by: . . m = Q/(h - h ) 1 1,in 1,out . . Q = m (h - h ) 2 2,out 2,in All inlet and outlet states and the mass flow rate of fluid 2 have to be specified.
