p
The temperature difference between the fluid and
the surface decays exponentially in the flow
direction, and the rate of decay depends on the
magnitude of the exponent
hAs mc
p
This dimensionless parameter is
called the number of transfer
units (NTU).
Large NTU value – increasing tube
length marginally increases heat
transfer rate.
Small NTU value – heat transfer increases
