There are really too few people who know how to calculate and select plate heat exchangers

It seems there are quite a few people reading the post, but no one is replying. Please, some expert can teach this newbie like me
There are many knowledgeable people on this forum, including some from manufacturers. In many previous posts, no one replied, and the reason is simple: there weren’t enough details to help with recommendations!

I want to know how to calculate the area of a plate heat exchanger
At its core, the calculation of heat transfer area essentially boils down to Q = K * A * △Tm. △Tm represents the logarithmic mean temperature difference. The heat load is calculated as Q = flow rate * Cp * △T. Essentially, one needs to look up the value of K based on the specific plate type.
I don’t know how to find the specific heat capacity either, for things like yogurt, soybean oil, yellow rice wine, and so on
Refer to the \"Handbook of Physical Properties of Chemicals and Materials: Organic Volume (Inorganic Volume)\”; reference data is available there
