Experimental Techniques to Determine Ntu of Compact Heat Exchanger Surfaces

Two new transient testing techniques were evaluated; the centrold method developed by Kohlmayr and the time zero intercept technique. The zero intercept method was found to be the most promising of the two but is limited to values of N < 2.5. The centrold technique can be used effectively whe...
