The performance of high effectiveness heat exchangers used in cryogenic systems is strongly controlled by irreversibilities such as longitudinal heat conduction and heat leak from ambient. In all heat exchanger analyses, it is assumed that no heat is lost through the heat exchanger walls. In the cas

โฆ Synopsis
The eectiveness of all high eectiveness heat exchangers used in cryogenic systems is largely controlled by the longitudinal heat conduction through the walls. Most authors have assumed that the longitudinal heat conduction occurs only through the wall separating the ยฏuid streams, and not through the walls separating the ยฏuid streams from the environment. In this paper, the eect of longitudinal heat conduction through all the walls of heat exchangers is studied.

Counter ยฏow heat exchangers are commonly used in cryogenic systems because of their high eectiveness. In addition to operating and design parameters, the thermal performance of these heat exchangers is strongly governed by various losses such as longitudinal conduction through wall, heat in leak fro
