Abstract: The purpose of this study is to design and fabricate a heat exchanger trainer that has the capacity to alter it type of flow from parallel to counter flow and vice versa. the scope of this study is to fabricate a heat exchanger for the mechanical engineering laboratory of the lyceum of the Philippines University - Cavite. the procedure heat exchanger must undergo several trials. actual data from the testing will be compared with the theoretical values to determine the accuracy of the trainer. The limitation of the study is that cross-flow heat exchanger is not included. the researchers used water as the working substance. this study contributes to the students in providing a deeper understanding about heat exchangers. the study may also be significant to other researchers who would like to improve the research.
Keywords: heat exchanger, parallel flow, counter-flow.
