Why LMTD is calculated in Heat -Exchanger problems..Why dont
we take average temperature??

Answer Posted / 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.
