    Basic Lecture:
    Temperature profile: It shows variation of temperature of a stream(fluid) along
    length(surface) of an exchanger or heat transfer equipment.
    Ohms law dictates rate of exchange of conserved quantity which is equal to the ratio of
    driving force (state function) and resistance (Path function).
    Three critical conditions are important to consider
     Approach temp
     Meeting temp
     Cross temp
    Flow Arrangements:
     Co-current or parallel
     Counter current
     Cross current
     Multi-pass
    Where hot terminal end corresponds to inlet of hot fluid and cold terminal end corresponds to
    outlet of cold fluid.
    Temperature profile (Continued):
    Slope of the tangent line to the temp. profile along length of exchanger shows temp. gradient
    which is maximum rate of change of temp. with respect to distance normal to the direction of
    the flow. Accordingly, flux is maximum and resistance is minimized corresponding to the
    shortest path.
    Gradient is +/- for the col/hot stream. Co-current is best for slurry, viscous fluids which need
    high temperature difference for breakage. Counter-current resists mixing. More area, more
    will be mixing.

    Momentum transfer is inversely proportional to the heat transfer. Fins improve surface area
    for heat transfer. Rate controlling resistance is maximum resistance. Others have negligible
    resistances as compared to controlling.
    NB: When a number of resistances are connected in series/parallel and an individual
    resistance contributes lion’s share (major share)/minor fraction towards overall heat transfer
    operation, then this highest/lowest resistance corresponding to slowest/fastest step acts as a
    rate controlling, governing, limiting or rate determining step.
    In a conductor, heat resistance is negligible in walls, generally tube walls.
    When two or more resistances are in series, it contributes major fraction towards overall
    resistance., then both should be considered.
    If heat transfer takes place across tube walls, then following thermal resistances may exist:
    1. Resistances offered by fluid film at inner surface of the tube.
    2. Resistances offered by scale at inner surface of the tube.
    3. Resistances offered by tube wall at inner surface of the tube.
    4. Resistances offered by scale at outer surface of the tube.
    5. Resistances offered by fluid film at outer surface of the tube.
    Conventionally, all resistances based on the exterior surface of tube/pipe. Usually, tube walls
    resistance is negligible as heat transfer is to be conducted across it’s wall (or along the
    surface). The base radius we might choose is inner or original radius excluding scale that is
    formed. Same is for outer radius.
