4. Procedure:
1) Connect and set up your heat exchanger. Connect for parallel flow
/counter flow and a heater tank temperature of 60C.
2) Use an accurate thermometer to check the local ambient air
temperature for reference
3) Use the hand operated flow control valves to set the hot and cold flow rates.
Allow at least five minutes for the heat exchanger temperatures to stabilize.
4) Record the hot and cold circuit temperatures.
5) Repeat the procedure for different flow rates and different heat exchangers.
5. Results:
Plate heat exchanger, shell and tube heat exchanger, and concentric
heat exchanger were used in order to find out some of the experimental
values.

6. Discussion
1. What is the difference between the parallel flow and the counter flow?
2. What the advantages and disadvantages of the parallel and the counter flows?
3. When is a heat exchanger classified as being compact? Do you think a double pipe heat
exchanger can classified as a compact heat exchanger?
Compact heat exchanger specifically designed to realize the ratio of large heat
transfer surface area per unit volume. A heat exchanger is classified as compact if
2
> 700 ; therefore, we cannot classify the double pipe heat exchanger as a

4. Which parameter affects most the heat exchanger performance?
Parameters affecting the heat exchanger vary from operating pressure to the
operating temperature even the properties of the heat exchanger itself. In addition
as the flow rate decreases both the heat exchange and the performance will increase.
7. Conclusion:
All in all, we have acquired a great knowledge of heat exchangers. We came
across the way they work, the way they are classified and we even evaluated their
performance characteristics at different arrangements. Heat exchangers are
typically classified according to flow arrangement and type of construction; they
are either parallel Heat exchangers or counter flow Heat exchangers. Moreover, our
results indicate that the shell and tube had the best efficiency, and then comes the
concentric tube and finally the plate exchanger. Furthermore some errors may have
occurred when recording data from the heat exchanger. Another source of error
would be calculation error. It is recommended to cautiously record the data and
repeat the experiment to minimize the errors as much as possible.
