An approximate equation together with empirical coefficients is presented for the fast calculation of the mean temperature difference of nine countercurrent cross-flow arrangements, as applied in air-cooled heat exchangers. The same equation can be used for other flow systems, as demonstrated for one shell-and-tube arrangement.

This paper presents a single closed form algebraic equation for the determination of the Log Mean Temperature Difference correction factor F for shell and tube heat exchangers having N shell passes and 2M tube passes per shell. The equation and its graphical presentation generalize the traditional equations and charts used for the determination of F. The equation presented is also useful in design, analysis and optimization of multi shell and tube heat exchanger, particularly for direct determination of the number of shells.

A procedure is developed to obtain analytical expressions for the mean temperature difference in crossflow heat exchangers with arbitrary number of passes and rows per pass. The influence of air mixing, along with different flow arrangements for the tube fluid between passes, is analyzed, both in co- and counter-crossflow.
