Water Flow Rate Vs Heat Transfer

The document contains data from experiments measuring heat transfer of a heat exchanger. It provides water inlet and outlet temperatures, pressure drops, and calculated heat transfer values for varying water and air flow rates. Graphs show relationships between flow rates, temperature changes, and pressure drops. The data and graphs characterize the heat transfer performance of the exchanger under different operating conditions.
