1. Transient regimes: definition and approaches (unsteady)

1.1 Definition of a transient

A heat exchanger is said to be in a transient or unsteady state when the input variables, and consequently the output variables, are, in part or all, functions of time.

The figure 1 illustrates this definition in the most general form possible. The heat exchanger is considered to be an open system with a transfer interface between the hot and cold media. The magnitude h ( T, P) represents the specific enthalpy as a function of temperature and pressure, and possibly of titre, during a liquid-vapor change of state, and...
