Summary

Multichannel parallel-flow heat exchangers which are modelled assuming that the overall heat transfer coefficients and fluxes of heat capacities are independent of the temperature are termed 'linear-type exchangers'. The mean driving force defined for such exchangers has, in matrix notation, a form analogous to that for two-channel exchangers. It may be shown that for constant values of the coefficients it becomes an analogue of the logarithmic mean temperature difference.
