Effectiveness of heat exchanger with one shell pass and 2, 4, 6 tube pass Formula

What is Prallel Flow?

Parallel flow in heat exchangers occurs when two fluids flow in the same direction through the exchanger. In this arrangement, the temperature difference between the fluids decreases along the length of the exchanger, leading to less efficient heat transfer compared to counter flow. Parallel flow is simpler to design and is used in applications where moderate heat transfer efficiency is acceptable.
