1. What modes of heat transfer occurs between the two fluid streams?
• Convection
• Conduction
3. Would you expect the overall heat transfer coefficient to be different for counter
Yes,
• cocurrent design – temperature of the cold stream outlet is less compared to the hot stream
outlet. The heat transfer is restricted by the cold stream’s outlet temperature.
• counter current design – the restriction is relaxed and the outlet cold temperature can exceed
The outlet’s hot temperature. The heat transfer is restricted by the cold stream’s inlet
Temperature.
4. Explain briefly the advantages of double pipe heat exchanger compared to other
heat exchangers.
