Question
Chapter 22, Problem 1P
To determine
State the classification of heat exchangers in terms of flow type and mention the characteristics of each type.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
According to the flow type, the heat exchangers are classified into three types given as follows:
- Parallel flow heat exchanger.
- Counter flow heat exchanger.
- Cross-flow heat exchanger.
Parallel flow heat exchanger:
When the hot fluid and cold fluid enter the heat exchanger at the similar end and travel in the identical direction, then the heat exchanger is said to be parallel-flow heat exchanger.
Counter flow heat exchanger:
When the hot fluid and cold fluid enter the heat exchanger at the opposite ends and travel in the opposite direction, then the heat exchanger is said to be counter-flow heat exchanger.
Cross-flow heat exchanger:
When the hot fluid and cold fluid enter the heat exchanger in the perpendicular direction, then the heat exchanger is said to be cross-flow heat exchanger.
