Abstract: Governing equations for heat transfer in a split flow heat exchanger with two tube passes are developed and solved. The expressions for the 鈥渢emperature efficiency鈥� P and 鈥淟MTD temperature correction factor鈥�, F are derived. F and P values for two tube pass and four tube pass are compared over the practical range of values of thermal flow rate ratio R and reduced thermal flux, 畏 (NTU).
