3. Numerical methods

Thanks to the development of computers and the increase in computing power, in addition to these analytical methods, heat exchanger sizing can be carried out in a more refined and, above all, less global way, using numerical methods that solve the basic equations to approximate the behavior of fluids and solid structures in a heat exchanger. This section presents the basics of these methods and their use for customized one-dimensional approaches. Paragraph 4 will...
