The F correction factor charts and the ε–NTU relations assume the overall heat transfer coefficient to be constant across the heat exchanger. In microchannel heat exchangers, the short lengths and the comparatively thick walls through which heat is conducted preclude the existence of thermally fully developed flow over a large portion of the heat exchanger. In this study, a parallel flow heat exchanger...
