Measurements are made of the heat transferred between two identical parallel-plate heat exchangers under conditions of oscillating flow over a range of frequencies and amplitudes. The results are analyzed and summarized in terms of heat-exchanger effectiveness, the ratio of the actual heat transfer rate to the maximum possible heat transfer rate. Measured results are compared to the DELTAE mode...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is widely used in biochemical analysis to amplify DNA and RNA in vitro. The PCR process is highly temperature sensitive, and thermal management has an important role in PCR operation in reaching the required temperature set points at each step of the process. The goal of this research is to achieve a thermal technique to rapidly increase the heating/cooling therm...

Abstract To enhance the heat transfer efficiency of spiral wound exchanger, a grooved exchanger (GSWHE) was proposed. A test platform accomplished to experimentally investigate performance with comparison (SWHE). The uncertainty analysis experiment conducted, maximum relative error being not more than ±5%. comprehensive coefficient GSWHE is higher that SWHE when cooling water flow rate low. det...
