Extends from baseFunc.

Information

crossCurrent

This functions computes the exchanger effectiveness for cross current flows where:

  • Both flows are unmixed
  • One flow is mixed an the other unmixed

Both fluid are unmixed

The relation to compute the effectiveness derives:

Qc_max is mixed

The relation to compute the effectiveness derives:

Qc_max is unmixed

The relation to compute the effectiveness derives:

For all relations, when Cr ≤ Cr_small, the effectiveness derives. When Cr_small ≤ Cr ≤ 2*Cr_small, the effectiveness is fit by a polynom via the regStep function between its normal relation and the relation for Cr ≤ Cr_small
