Note:

This calculator helps calculate the *Arithmetic Mean Temperature Difference (AMTD)* for heat exchange systems. It calculates the temperature difference between steam and a secondary fluid passing through a heat exchanger. The AMTD is essential for determining the efficiency of heat exchangers and ensuring safe operation in thermal systems.

Real-Life Application:

In industrial processes such as power plants or chemical factories, AMTD is used to optimize the design and operation of heat exchangers. By monitoring the AMTD, engineers can assess whether the heat exchanger is operating efficiently, preventing overheating and ensuring safety standards are met. Proper temperature management in heat exchangers can prevent equipment failure and reduce energy consumption.

• Steam Temperature (°C) _Ts: This is the temperature of the steam in the system, typically used in heat exchangers. Example: 150°C.
• Secondary Fluid In Temperature (°C) _T1: This is the temperature of the fluid entering the heat exchanger. Example: 30°C.
• Secondary Fluid Out Temperature (°C) _T2: This is the temperature of the fluid exiting the heat exchanger. Example: 40°C.

After you enter the values for the steam temperature and the secondary fluid temperatures, the calculator will show the *Arithmetic Mean Temperature Difference (AMTD)*, which is important for assessing heat transfer efficiency in thermal systems, particularly in Safety and Fire calculations.
