4.
For the first test, use the hand operated flow control
valves to set the hot and cold flow rates as shown for
Test 1 in Table 3. Allow at least five minutes for the heat
exchanger temperatures to stabilize.

b. COUNTER FLOW
Reconnect the heat exchanger for counter flow and repeat procedure

Discussion:
From the result , its clear that the efficiency of shell and tube heat
exchanger is the highest , then the plate heat exchanger , and the
lowest is coaxial heat exchanger , that because the design of shell and
tube is very good and the surface of contact between cold and hot
water is very large and the cold water can reach to all places in heat
exchanger and absorb heat from hot water , and for plate heat
exchanger the contact surface is good and the plate contain from 20
plate or more but the efficient of contact area not as shell and tube ,
for the shell and tube the measurement data has error m because the
flow meter get fault , for the coaxial , it has the lowest surface
contact , it considered as the simplest form
In practical life, the trend generally for plate because the efficiency is
acceptable compared with initial cost and maintenance time and cost.
The counter flow in heat exchanger more efficient than the parallel m
that because the simplest reason , the temperature differences in
counter flow is higher than in parallel flow.
More than , the time required for counter flow is lower than the parallel
, and the thermal stress is minimize at counter .

The area of tube not measured, therefor accounting this cant exit , the
mass flow rate founded by dividing the volume flow rate of cold water
by specific volume for 20 C .
