Abstract: The novel multi-fluid heat exchanger (NMFHE) is a modified double-tube exchanger, tested under various flow rates, temperatures, and flow configurations. The overall heat transfer coefficient (U_o), effectiveness, Colburn factor (j), JF factor, exergy efficiency, and sustainability index (SI) are determined as the thermal and sustainability parameters for this study. The maximum (U_o of 276.1 W/m².K and 22.03 W/m².K are observed at 300 LPH flow rate, 80°C inlet temperature of HF1, and CF1 configurations. The maximum (j, JF factor, exergy efficiency, and SI were 0.006, 0.08, 0.785, and 4.066, respectively, at 100 LPH flow rate and 60°C inlet temperature of HF1.
