• The temperature difference between the fluid and the surface decaysexponentially in the flow direction, and the rate of decay depends onthe magnitude of the exponenthAsmc p• This dimensionless parameter iscalled the number of transferunits (NTU).–Large NTU value – increasing tubelength marginally increases heattransfer rate.–SmallNTU value – heat transfer increasessignificantly with increasing tube length.
