What Is Meant By Effectiveness?

1.	What Is Meant By Effectiveness?
Answer» The HEAT exchanger EFFECTIVENESS is DEFINED as the ratio of ACTUAL heat transfer to the maximum possible heat transfer. Effectiveness ε = Actual heat transfer / Maximum possible heat transfer = Q / Qmax The heat exchanger effectiveness is defined as the ratio of actual heat transfer to the maximum possible heat transfer. Effectiveness ε = Actual heat transfer / Maximum possible heat transfer = Q / Qmax

Answer»

The HEAT exchanger EFFECTIVENESS is DEFINED as the ratio of ACTUAL heat transfer to the maximum possible heat transfer.

Effectiveness ε = Actual heat transfer / Maximum possible heat transfer = Q / Qmax

The heat exchanger effectiveness is defined as the ratio of actual heat transfer to the maximum possible heat transfer.

Effectiveness ε = Actual heat transfer / Maximum possible heat transfer = Q / Qmax
