    This laboratory report analyzes experiments comparing heat transfer rates in parallel and counter flow operations using two types of heat exchangers. The experiments found that countercurrent flow provided greater heat transfer than parallel flow in both a shell and tube exchanger and a tubular exchanger. While the shell and tube exchanger had a higher temperature difference, the tubular exchanger offered a slightly higher average heat flow due to its larger average area of heat transfer.

    Executive Summary

    This laboratory report presents a detailed analysis on a series of experiments conducted to


    compare the heat transfer rate in both parallel and counter flow operation in two types of
    heat exchanger. This experiment was completed with the ‘WL 110-SERIES’ heat exchanger
    service unit using a shell and tube heat exchanger as well as a tubular heat exchanger. Setting
    the desired flow rate and setpoint temperature, the temperature plots and various
    parameters were noted, observed and the results are discussed in detail in this report. In both
    types of heat exchangers, it was observed that greater heat transfer rate was obtained in a
    countercurrent design as opposed to a parallel flow design. The temperature gradient
    observed in the temperature plots showed a constant flow of heat and great heat recovery
    rate in the countercurrent connections in both the types of heat exchangers. Selecting the
    right type of heat exchanger depends on many factors like pressure drop, area of heat
    transfer, temperature, type of application etc. In this experiment the tubular heat exchanger
    offered slightly greater mean heat flow than the shell and tube heat exchanger owing to its
    greater mean average area of heat transfer which eclipsed the higher LMTD obtained by the
    shell and tube exchanger.
