TL;DR Summary
Hi guys, I got a question here for this Heat Exchanger.
Please refer the description.
May I know why the answer is 24.7? How?
"ln" stand for?
How to calculate?
ΔTLMTDcf = 20 - 30
ln20/30 ←(What is "In"?)
= 24.7°C ←(Why the answer is 24.7? How?)

Hello @Clemens Khoo,
:welcome: ##\qquad ##!​

In the first place: the answer is NOT 24.7 but 24.7 °C
(I don't even know the question -- you really should post the full problem statement ! -- , but I bet my career on that).

Then: you want to look up LMTD to find out what the exercise is about. If you don't know, then either you've been sleeping or not attended at all.

Ln is natural logarithm, which google. The notation ##\operatorname{ln}## is for dimwits, excel users and engineers who would otherwise interpret the corrrect notation ##\log## as a logarithm base 10.
(*)

And ##\log(20/30) ## is not 24.7 !

[edit]Ah, I see: you meant to write $${20-30\over\log(20/30)}$$ and didn't notice PF posts ignore spaces​

for this Heat Exchanger.
Please refer the description.
What HX ? What description ?

(*) Just kidding. See here.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
