Initially, the rate of heat transfer and the rate of decrease of temperature will be high in parallel flow heat exchanger but near the exit, both will be reduced considerably.

While counter flow heat exchanger maintains an approximately constant heat transfer rate and so the rate of decrease of temperature.
