What fundamental principle allows a heat exchanger to reduce heat?

Question

Accepted Answer

Heat exchangers reduce heat through fundamental principles of heat transfer.

Heat exchangers work based on the principles of conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction involves the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.
Convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases.
Radiation involves the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
Heat exchangers use these principles to transfer heat from one fluid to another, without mixing them.
For example, in a shell and tube heat exchanger, hot fluid flows through tubes while cold fluid flows around the tubes, allowing heat transfer.
Heat exchangers are used in various applications such as HVAC systems, refrigeration, power plants, and chemical processes.
