In the context of counterflow and parallel flow, when might Tc, o exceeds Th, o O This never happens in either counterflow or parallel flow. OTc, o can exceed Th, o in counterflow but not in parallel flow. O Tc, o can exceed Th, o in parallel flow but not in counterflow. In the context of counterflow and parallel flow, when might Tc, o exceeds Th, o O This never happens in either counterflow or parallel flow. OTc, o can exceed Th, o in counterflow but not in parallel flow. O Tc, o can exceed Th, o in parallel flow but not in counterflow.

The detailed answer for the above question is provided below Answer In the context of heat exchangers where fluids exchange heat the terms Tco and Tho represent the outlet temperatures of the cold and hot fluids respectively The subscripts c and h stand for cold and hot while o represents the outlet In counterflow and parallel flow heat exchangers Counterflow Fluids flow in opposite directions The outlet temperature of the cold fluid Tco can theoretically exceed the outlet temperature of the hot fluid Tho This occurs when the cold fluid starts at a lower temperature and gains heat as it flows through the heat exchanger ...
