How Can I Determine the Maximum Flow Rate for a Heat Exchanger Cooling Oil?

[QUOTE="Rx7man, post: 5506953, member: 583059"] I think what your work found was peak flow rate possible through the heat exchanger, not the flow rate you need.. I think the first thing you need to do is figure out how much flow of your coolant is needed in order to carry away the heat (200kJ/min), with an acceptable rise in coolant temp (IE, from 16C to 60C) an then size the pump for that.. Bear in mind that depending on the coolant, it may boil long before it gets to 133C. So if you find you need 50L/min of coolant through your exchanger, find out how much pressure drop is required through it to get that flow, then size the pump to be able to deliver that flow at that pressure [/QUOTE]
