Extract

1. The cross-flow type of heat interchanger is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. One of the fluids involved is arranged to pass through a nest of small tubes, while the other streams past the tubes at right angles to them. To fix ideas we suppose that the tubes contain cooling water which enters at a temperature T1. The temperature of the water leaving a tube depends upon its position, but the water from all the tubes is mixed and is led to a single exit pipe in which the temperature is T2. In the same way the fluid to be cooled enters at a temperature t1 and leaves at a temperature t2. If the cooling water is not used again by being led through another nest of tubes also exposed to the fluid to be cooled, the arrangement is termed a single-pass heat interchanger.
