Baffle Weave
Segmental baffles alternate top and bottom inside a shell while the shell-side stream weaves over and under them as a continuous dashed serpentine.

Heattransfer
15 animationsBoiling Curve
A heat-flux against wall-superheat curve carries its flux as a travelling dash train through nucleate boiling, over the critical flux peak and on into film boiling.
CSSCondenser Bank
Vapour drifts across a stacked bank of horizontal tubes and leaves as condensate streaks drawing continuously down the drop legs to the hotwell rule.
CSSCounter Current
Two stacked channels carry dashed streams in opposite directions across a ladder of transfer ordinates, and a slow brightening wave passes along the ladder.
CSSCross Flow
A finned matrix with one stream drifting through it horizontally while the other falls through it vertically, the two dash trains crossing continuously.
CSSEffectiveness NTU
A fan of effectiveness against NTU curves flattens toward its asymptote while the working curve carries a dash train climbing continuously along it.
CSSFilm Resistance
A temperature profile stepping across two boundary films and the tube metal sits above the wall section it describes, with heat flux crossing the section as a continuous dash train.
CSSFin Efficiency
A row of extended-surface fins stands off a heated base and the temperature reaching along each fin advances and recedes as a slow wave down the row.
CSSFouling Layer
A tube wall seen in long section carries a deposit layer that throttles the clear bore, then retracts as the tube is cleaned and the cycle retraces.
CSSHeat Cascade
A staircase of temperature intervals passes surplus heat down from level to level, the descending residue drawn as a dash train travelling along the steps.
CSSKettle Reboiler
A kettle shell holds a liquid pool over a heated bundle, with columns of bubbles rising continuously off the tubes and vapour drifting through the disengagement space.
CSSLog Mean Delta
Hot and cold temperature profiles converge along an exchanger while the driving-force ordinates drawn between them carry heat downward as a drifting dash train.
CSSPinch Point
Hot and cold composite curves on a temperature-enthalpy field slide toward each other until the vertical gap closes to the minimum approach, then ease apart again.
CSSShell And Tube
A shell outline with a tube bundle running its length and segmental baffles across it, while tube-side dashes drift one way and the shell-side stream drifts the other.
CSSTubesheet Pitch
A triangular-pitch array of tube holes fills the tubesheet face and a soft thermal wave passes across it, lifting each column of holes in turn.
