Correction Factor for Multipass and Crossflow Heat Exchangers

The correction factors are available in chart form as prepared by Bowman et al.8 for practical use
for all common multipass shell-and-tube and crossflow heat exchangers, and selected results.
The correction factor F is less than 1 for crossflow and multipass arrangements; it is 1 for a true
counterflow heat exchanger.

For Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers:-
