Fluids need to be pumped through the heat exchanger in most applications. It is essential to determine the fluid pumping power required as part of the system design and operating cost analysis.
The fluid pumping power is proportional to the fluid pressure drop, which is associated with fluid friction and other pressure drop contributions along the fluid flow path. The fluid pressure drop has a direct relationship with heat transfer, operation, size mechanical characteristics, and other factors including economic considerations.
