Abstract

Using the continuous counterflow heat exchanger as a standard of comparison, the surface efficiencies of the parallel flow heat exchanger and a discrete heat exchanger element are defined and computed. The results are generalized to chains of heat exchanging elements and a method for optimizing the efficiency of such a chain is discussed. The importance and means of avoiding several deletérious effects such as gravitational instabilities, intrinsic heat conductivities, and viscosity are discussed.
