How Not to Set Your Pizza on Fire: Crash Course Engineering #15

Today we’re going to explain how exchangers…exchange heat. We’ll look at concentric tubes, finned tubes, plate heat exchangers, and shell-and-tube heat exchangers. And we’ll look at some equations to help us sort through heat transfer and decide what heat exchangers are best suited for our designs. Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios.
