With the LMTD method, the task is to select a heat exchanger that will
meet the prescribed heat transfer requirements. The procedure to be
followed by the selection process is:

The heat transfer in a heat exchanger will reach its maximum value
when
(1) the cold fluid is heated to the inlet temperature of the hot fluid or
(2) The hot fluid is cooled to the inlet temperature of the cold fluid.
