LMTD_f

 

LMTD_f(DT_1,DT_2) returns the value of the log mean temperature difference for a counter flow or parallel flow heat exchanger with temperature differences DT_1 and DT_2 at the two ends.  The log mean temperature difference is calculated according to:

 

 

 

Note that when DT_1 approaches DT_2, the value of the log mean temperature difference calculated aboves involves dividing by zero; this function protects against this issue.
