The document compares heat transfer in co-current and counter-current flow configurations. It provides data on inlet and outlet temperatures and heat transfer rates for both hot and cold fluids at three different volumetric flow rates. For co-current flow, the hot fluid temperature decreases along the length of the heat exchanger while the cold fluid temperature increases. For counter-current flow, the hot fluid temperature decreases more while the cold fluid temperature increases less compared to co-current flow.
