Calculating the heat transfer areas for side (1)
and side (2)
Assuming the number of passes in one side is Np and Np+1 on the other side,
then the common edge length can be written in terms the pate spacing's b1,
b2 and the plate thickness a as follows
𝐿𝑐 = 𝑁𝑝 𝑏1 + 𝑁𝑝 + 1 𝑏2 + 2 𝑁𝑝 + 1 𝑎
𝐿𝑐 − 𝑏2 − 2𝑎
𝑁𝑝 =
𝑏1 + 𝑏2 + 2𝑎
Volume between the plates for side (1) and side (2)
𝑉𝑝1 = 𝐿1 ∗ 𝐿2 ∗ 𝑁𝑝 ∗ 𝑏1 𝑉𝑝2 = 𝐿1 ∗ 𝐿2 ∗ 𝑁𝑝 ∗ 𝑏2
Utilizing the relation between and the volume between the plates

𝛽1 = 𝛽2 =

If 1 and 2 are calculated based on b1, b2 a,
and , then one can easily find the heat
transfer areas A1 and A2
