Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) Method with Examples

Logarithmic Mean temperature Difference is used to measure the Heat transfer rate in double pipe heat exchanger. The rate of heat transfer is got from the formula -

Q = U.A.LMTD .

U= Heat Transfer Co-efficient
A= Heat Transfer Surface Area
LMTD= Mean Temperature Difference

LMTD is the logarithmic temperature difference between the hot and cold fluids passing through the each ends of heat

Plastic Extrusion Process Principles

Extrusion Process Principles Extrusion process is very common in the plastic industry. It is used for high volume plastic production. In extrusion process the color pigments along with other performance enhancing additives are combined with resin which is then pushed through the rotating screws. The heat and pressure generated within the barrels of screw is dispersed and melts the plastic

Different Types of Plastics- Advantages and Disadvantages

Plastics can be classifies into two broad categories - Thermosets and Thermoplasctics. A brief description of these two classes will be discussed here. Thermosets are the kind of plastics which are not recyclable. They undergo a kind of chemical change at the time of heating. As a result they can be shaped once because of this permanent chemical change. This process is known as heat hardening.
