When compared to shell and tube exchangers, the stacked-plate arrangement typically has lower volume and cost.
2.
A correction factor is also required for other more complex geometries, such as a shell and tube exchanger with baffles.
3.
Shell and tube exchangers are the most widely apparent as a result of the flexible design that can accommodate various pressure and temperature values.
4.
These relationships are differentiated from one another depending on the type of the flow ( counter-current, concurrent, or cross flow ), the number of passes ( in shell and tube exchangers ) and whether a flow stream is mixed or unmixed.
