Conversely, when the heat exchanger capacity is insufficient compared to the compressor capacity, the log-mean temperature difference becomes excessive, as does the pressure ratio, efficiency is inadequate, compressor power becomes too large, and calculation is rendered impossible.
im] (7) Both the inside heat transfer area and the log-mean temperature difference are known quantities for each reactor section.
