As the return air is colder (state 16, −169.1 C) than the air from HGCS (state 25, −140 C), the last part of the cold box does not exchange heat with the HGCS air. Similarly, the outlet temperature of the cold source (state 26) is 20 °C and shows a great temperature difference from the hot air (state 10, 40 °C), hence, the cold air exits from
