The correction factor is ameasure of the heat exchanger's departure from the ideal behaviorof a counter flow heat exchanger having the same terminal temperatures. The correction factor depends on the efficiency of the temperature and the ratio of heat capacity for a particular flow arrangement. Wha...
This holds both for parallel-flow arrangement, where the streams enter from the same end, and for counter-flow arrangement, they enter from different ends. In a cross-flow, where one system, usually the heat sink, has the same nominal temperature at all points on the heat tran...

In the present study, we developed a predictive mathematical model based on a counter flow heat exchanger analogy for the DCMD process. Two methods were used to analyze the water permeate flux across one hydrophobic membrane layer, namely the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) and the ...
