Re: Brad's post regarding thermostats and the idea of "slowing down the flow" - What we are really doing is reducing the coolant flow, which, as detailed below can be a good thing. There is a fine ba
The measure of how effective a heat exchanger is called, you guessed it, effectiveness. What that is is a ratio of how well the unit rejects heat divided by how well it could theoretically reject hea

I've never worked with effectiveness measurements, but I do know that the total heat transfer in an exchanger is proportional to the surface area, the flow of the cooling medium, and the differential

Yeah, but making the current flow in the direction the electrons actually travel really screws up your "right hand rule." Though that would make taking tests easier so you could write while doing the

Bob, Very good point. Now that I think about it...in all of the physics classes and electrical classes, current flowed from negative to positive. Of course my electronic classes were just the opposi
The area is part of the overall heat transfer - the UA. Effectiveness can also be stated in terms of UA, and Cmin. To increase UA (and therefore effectiveness) you can improve fin design, dimple tube
