Question

Task 3 |Using annotated diagrams, explain the operation of parallel and counterflow heat exchangers. How do the temperatures of the fluids vary within the heat exchanger body? What mechanisms of heat transfer are employed internally between each fluid? Provide and discuss examples of industrial (and perhaps specialist) heat exchanger installations. Discuss how the performance of heat exchanger designs could be optimised by engineers?
