This results in four configurations each for the 1-1 (1 Pass-1 Pass), 2-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-1, 4-2, and 4-4 arrangements, and six configurations for the 3-1 arrangement. These arrangements are analyzed using the Gauss-Seidel iterative finite difference method; the plate arrangement that yields the highest effectiveness in each pass configuration is identified. Comprehensive results are presented in tabular form for the temperature effectiveness Psub 1 and log-mean temperature difference correction factor F as functions of the number of transfer units NTUsub 1, the heat capacity rate ratio Rsub 1, and the total number of thermal plates. On the basis of these results, specific guidelines are outlined for the selection of appropriate plate heat exchanger configurations.
