Effectiveness-NTU Curves For Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers: Min Max

This document contains effectiveness-NTU curves for shell and tube heat exchangers with different configurations. The curves show the relationship between effectiveness (ε) and the number of transfer units (NTU) for various values of the heat capacity rate ratio (c). The first curve is for a 1 shell pass and any even number of tube passes. The second is for 2 shell passes and any multiple of 4 tube passes. The third is for 4 shell passes and any multiple of 8 tube passes. The curves can be used to determine effectiveness for different heat exchanger configurations based on NTU and heat capacity rate ratio.
