Abstract
More than ever before, dynamic investigation techniques are becoming widely used in the control systems, parameter implementation and state estimators. Indeed, dynamical models describing the response of process systems that are subject to disturbances play a vital role in controlling and optimising these systems. Recently developed in literature, the method of step response analysis provides a promising means towards solving some of the problems associated with the characterisation of transient response of heat exchangers. In Abdelghani-Idrissi et al. (Int J Heat Mass Transfer 44:3721–3730, 2001), authors present analytical expressions of fluids temperatures response time of counter-current heat exchanger when hot fluid step change is applied in the internal tube. This paper describes the extension of this technique to a coflow heat exchanger for which the exact solution of its mathematical model is unavailable.
