Correction is applied to LMTD for __________ flow?
Correct answer: C. Cross
- A. Parallel
- B. Counter
- C. Cross
- D. None of these
Explanation
The simple LMTD applies directly to parallel- and counter-flow exchangers, but cross-flow and multipass arrangements require a correction factor because the temperature paths are not purely countercurrent or parallel.
