Best Answer

It is the ratio of (mdot*Cp)min/(mdot*Cp)max where the heat exchanger contains two fluids for which the mdot*Cp should be calculated for each to determine which one is greater. by doing so one can define the ability of one fluid to carry thermal/heat energy with respect to the other. so this is a way of saying how well can heat be transferred and so how effective is the heat exchanger

What is difference between condenser and heat exchanger?

A heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat from one fluid to the others. A condenser is simply a heat exchanger. It compresses refrigerants into a hot gas to then condense them into a liquid. Majorly condenser is used to cool the required vapor and heat exchanger is used to heat the required liquid.
