Heat Exchanger Solution

The document discusses heat exchanger calculations using log mean temperature difference (LMTD) and arithmetic mean temperature difference (AMTD). It provides examples of calculating LMTD, AMTD, heat transfer rate, and heat exchanger area for different scenarios involving heat transfer between hot and cold fluids.
