摘要: Abstract An analytical model for indirect evaporative heat exchangers has been developed via a modified log mean temperature difference (LMTD) method designed sensible exchangers. The original LMTD is judiciously to extend its computing cooling systems where latent transfer involved. validated by comparing prediction of thermal performance with experimental data counter-flow dew-point cooler and cross-flow cooler. Predictability the maximum discrepancy ±8% when compared data. demonstrated be practical provide an accurate result short computational time. Several case studies are structured illustrate that suitable designing analyzing
