🔍 Key Concepts

• Temperature difference between hot and cold fluids along the tube length • Effect of counterflow vs. parallel flow on heat transfer rate • How heat duty and temperature profiles change as fluids move through the exchanger

💭 Think About

• As the fluids travel through the exchanger, does the temperature difference between them stay the same or change? How would that affect the rate of heat transfer? • In which type of flow arrangement (counterflow, parallel flow, single‑pass) is the average temperature difference between fluids typically the largest for the same inlet and outlet conditions? • Think about what happens at the entrance of the exchanger versus near the exit—is the driving force for heat transfer identical in those locations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether temperature difference (ΔT) is uniform or varying along the length in real heat exchangers • Consider that heat transfer rate ∝ ΔT × area × overall coefficient (U); decide which of these terms can realistically remain constant • Check how counterflow arrangement affects the temperature driving force compared with other flow arrangements
