Heat Exchangers
(Parallel-flow)
• In the parallel-flow
arrangement, the hot
and cold fluids enter
the same end, flow in
the same direction, and
leave at the same end.
5
Heat Exchangers
(Counter-flow)
• In the counter-flow
arrangement, the fluids
enter at opposite ends,
in opposite directions,
and leave at opposite
ends.

Heat Exchangers
(Shell and Tube – Multi-pass designs)
• This is an
innovative design
which consists of
a series of plates
with corrugated
flat flow passages.

Double-pipe Heat Exchanger
• Heat is transferred
1. from the hot fluid to the wall
by convection,
2. through the wall by
conduction,
3. from the wall to the cold fluid
again by convection.

• Note that 19% of the total resistance in this case is due to fouling
and about 5% of it is due to the steel tube separating the two
fluids. The rest of the 76% is due to convective resistances on
the two sides of the inner tube.

• Cmin is used for Qmax because the fluid with the smaller
heat capacity rate will experience the largest
temperature change and thus be the first to
experience the maximum temperature, at which point
heat transfer stops. 65

Design Considerations
– Cost
• Budgetary limitations always play an important role.
Operating and maintenance costs are also a factor.
– Pumping Power
• The fluids are normally forced by pumps or fans which
require a pump with associate electrical costs. 101
Design Considerations
– Materials
• The materials in the heat exchanger construction may be
an important consideration, especially if thermal
stresses are an issue.
