Why LMTD is calculated in Heat -Exchanger problems..Why dont
we take average temperature??
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / bharat
temperature inside heat-exchanger changes exponentially so
taking average would give erroneous results. and LMTD is
calculated by considering a small elemental area of heat
exchanger so it gives more accurate temperature difference.

Answer / awkash
Because temperature change in heat exchanger is not linear
in nature so we can not take airthmatic mean here,
physically you can think in the manner like if we inlet
temp. of a pipe is 80 and outlet temp. is 40 then u cannot
say that temp in middle will be 60.
thats why for accurte measurement we take lmtd.

Answer / abina
in heatexchanger temperature changes from point to point along the length so we are calculating Lmtd. ..Bt avg temperature dosnt gv correct value

Answer / anil
LMTD value it gives the correct average temperature without any errors compare to average temperature

QUANTUM COMPUTING - EXAMPLE 32.8 : In quantum computing, a quantum state is given by S = a | 00 > + b | 01 > + g | 10 > + d | 11 >. (a) Find S in term of | 0 > and | 1 > etc. (b) The probability of getting x is P(x). For S = 0.5 | 00 > + 0.5 | 01 > + 0.5 | 10 > + 0.5 | 11 >, find P(0) and P(1). Hint : P(00) + P(01) = P(0) = a x a + b x b, P(10) + P(11) = P(1) = g x g + d x d.

ENGINEERING DRAWING - EXAMPLE 18.3 : Autocad computer program is used to draw a pipe that is used to transport natural gases for processing. Actual length of the pipe is 10 metres. The pipe has cross sectional area of circle in shape with measured circumference of s = 3 metres. (a) If 10 units are used to represent the actual length of the pipe in computerised engineering drawing, find the diameter of the pipe, d that will be shown in the engineering drawing. (b) If one unit in the program equals to 1 centimetre, find the scale used in the computer program.
