Summary

An analysis is carried out using a finite element method. The results indicate that the thermal performance deterioration of crossflow plate-fin, crossflow tube-fin and counterflow plate-fin heat exchangers due to longitudinal heat conduction may become significant especially when the fluid capacity rate ratio is equal to one and when the longitudinal heat conduction parameter is large.
