Derivation of LMTD
As we know from 1st law of thermodynamics
Q = mcp(hc,o − hc,i)
So with the specific heat assumption that we made (and treating the fluids as incompressible), we can
write
Q = mcp∆T
We’ll also define Ci = micp,i as the heat capacity rate. We want to relate the inlet and outlet
temperatures,the U, and the A, to the rate of heat transferred, and we can do this as:
Q = U A ∆Tmean
We now need to find what this mean temperature is. To do this, we’ll look at a differential area of the
heat exchanger where a differential amount of heat is transferred.
Using this equation to examine the hot and cold streams separately yields:
δQ= −Ch dTh ; Ch = ( m cp)h (1)
δQ= ±Cc dTc ; Cc = ( m cp)c (2)
where ± or ∓ appears, the top sign designates parallel-flow, and the bottom sign designates
counterflow.
