Geothermal Systems Engineering
Counterflow is a heat exchange process where two fluids move in opposite directions to maximize heat transfer efficiency. In this setup, the hot fluid enters the heat exchanger at one end while the cold fluid enters from the opposite end, allowing for a gradual temperature increase of the cold fluid and a decrease in temperature of the hot fluid, enhancing overall thermal performance.
congrats on reading the definition of counterflow. now let's actually learn it.
