Omais,

  Type5 (or Type91 if it was available in v16) would be appropriate. 
Heat exchangers are not categorized by their geometry in Trnsys except 
as concerns the direction of the two liquid streams (cross flow, 
parallel flow, etc.). Instead the user is asked to specify either a UA 
or an effectiveness for the heat exchanger. This makes the models 
appropriate for flat plates or other configurations.

kind regards,

  David
