Now for defining the type of flow, we use the correction factor.
θm = Fθmc = Fθmp ...(i)
Where F = correction factor, which depends on the geometry of the heat
exchanger and the inlet and outlet temperatures of the of the hot and cold
streams.

F < 1, for cross flow and F = 1, for counter and parallel flow
So, From equation (i),
F = θm = 26 = 0.90 < 1
θmc 28.85
and also F = θm = 26 = 1.04 > 1
θmp 24.85
So, cross flow in better for this problem.
