In most realistic situations heat flow can be said to occur from a region of higher temperature to one of lower temperature. As the region of higher temperature loses heat and the other region gains heat their temperatures become closer and the rate of heat flow diminishes.
If, however, it can be contrived to maintain the source of heat at a constant temperature and the destination of the heat also at a constant temperature, then the heat will flow between the two at a constant rate, called steady heat flow.

What is quasi steady flow?
Quasi- steady flow is one type of transient flow. In the characterized by the absence of inertial or elastic effects on the flow behavior. In such a flow the variation of discharges and pressures with time is gradual and over short time intervals the flow appears to be steady. Typical examples are the drawdown of a reservoir or the variation in demand in water distribution system over a 24- hour period.
What is critical velocity in fluid flow?
The flow of a liquid remains steady or orderly only so long as its velocity does not exceed a certain limiting value for it, called critical velocity.
What is microchannel heat exchangers?
A compact heat exchanger with a hydraulic diameter on the order of 1 mm or less. Flow is typically laminar and heat transfer coefficients are proportional to velocity.
Where the reverse valve is located in the heat pump?
Reverses the flow of refrigerant through the system so it absorbs the heat from the outside ambient air and then rejects the heat through the evaporator and into your duct work.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of spiral heat exchanger?
AdvantagesEfficient use of Temperature DifferenceThe fully countercurrent system(TYPE-1) is able to exchange heat even if temperature difference is extremely close. Most effective saving energy is possible.Low Fouling (Self Cleaning)The rotary current of spiral heat exchanger possesses the property of scraping off and spilling the dirty sedimentation(stagnation solid). Even though scales adhere to it, the cross-section of the adherent part becomes smaller, the flow-speed would be quickly and bring the function of self cleaning by single-pass flow.High Overall Heat Transfer CoefficientSpiral flow passage easily creates turbulent flow.Optimum flow speed can be gained by selecting the most suitable spiral channel. High Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient can be achieved.Easy MaintenanceThe heat transfer part is easily accessed and checked. It is possible to easily do by removing the cover of the both ends, for the inspection of the inside.The maintenance cost of Spiral Heat Exchanger is much lower than others.Space SavingSHE equipment volume is far compact comparing to Tubular Heat Exchanger. Plant space can be saved and plant initial cost can be saved.
