In a cross-flow exchanger, the two streams flow at right angles to each other. For example, stream 1 might flow through a set of tubes, arranged in a bank, whereas stream 2 might thread its way through the spaces between the tubes in a direction generally at right angles to the tube axes.

Heat exchangers transfer heat between two or more streams of fluid that flow through the apparatus. A major characteristic of heat exchanger design is the relative flow configuration, which is the set of geometric relationships between the streams. Counter flow Heat Exchanger In a counter-flow heat exchanger, the two fluids flow parallel to each...
