Heat exchanger
Heat exchanger. Figure 1. A hot fluid (red) flows through a tube inside a chamber containing a cooler fluid. It exchanges heat to the cooler fluid and in turn exits cooler than it entered. [1] Heat exchangers are systems that use a fluid to absorb heat from a hotter outside source without the fluid and hot source mixing together. Therefore, the ...
