Abstract

Many needs have to be met in human life. One of the key needs is to provide living comfort, which is clearly associated with heat. Analyzing the amount of produced heat, it should be emphasized that the higher the development of a country, the greater the demand for heat. In the era of the debate on the impact of human activities on the climate, it is impossible not to emphasize the importance of conserving energy and heat, and thus the rational management of these goods. The paper proposes a mathematical description of the complex systems of heat exchangers in the form of linear differential equations. Their analytical solution is presented in the form of temperature change of the heat carrier along the heating surface of a four-thread heat exchanger. Analysis of the possible heat exchange cases for eight possible flow systems is presented. In addition, the most effective minimization of heat losses was found.
