🔍 Key Concepts

• Counterflow vs. parallel flow in heat exchangers • How single-pass and multi-pass arrangements change flow direction relative to each plate • The way plate channels are arranged so adjacent passages can have opposite flow directions

💭 Think About

• Picture a single plate with fluid A on one side and fluid B on the other: what flow directions are needed along that plate to be truly counterflow? • Ask yourself which overall flow arrangement (single-pass vs. multi-pass) most naturally allows the fluids to enter and leave at opposite ends while staying opposite on each plate. • Consider whether adding more passes for one or both fluids makes it easier or harder to maintain strictly opposite directions along each individual plate.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which pattern gives one, continuous, end‑to‑end path for each fluid across the plates. • Check whether any pattern forces parts of a fluid’s path to reverse direction along the same plate bank, disrupting true counterflow on each plate. • Confirm whether a true counterflow design requires both fluids to move in generally opposite directions across the entire plate stack.
