Abstract

Due to the higher requirement for energy in recent times, the most important industry for power generation is the thermal power plant. Due to the higher requirement of heat transfer without any loss from one fluid to another fluid counter-flow heat exchangers play a very important role. In past decades, many researchers attempted to find an effective way to increase the transfer rate from one fluid to another. In this study, we are more focused toward increase the heat transfer rate in the counter-flow heat exchanger (CFHX). In addition, the summary is provided information related to the increased heat transfer rate in counter flow HX.
