in the present study, turbulent flow in channels of a plate heat exchanger with corrugated chevron plates has been simulated numerically using the commercial cfd package, fluent. unstructured mesh is used for discretizing the computational domain and simple algorithm is utilized to solve the pressure and velocity equations. there is a wide selection of different plate heat exchangers within the...

if an air flow is injected into a liquid fluid, many ambulant air bubbles are formed inside the fluid. air bubbles move inside the liquid fluid because of the buoyancy force, and the mobility of these air bubbles makes sizable commixture and turbulence inside the fluid. this mechanism was employed to enhance the heat transfer rate of a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger in this paper. howeve...

In the presented research, heat transfer of a mobile electrolyte alkaline fuel cell (AFC) (which the electrolyte has cooling role of system) has been considered. Proper control volumes of system with specific qualification have been chosen. Consequently, heat and mass transfer in control volumes have been assessed. Considerations on them and contributed models lead to approve a double tube heat...

Joule-Thomson cooling systems are used in refrigeration processes such as cryogenic gas liquefaction. Although extensive studies have been carried out by researchers, most of them include cryogenic heat exchangers and their associated fields. In the current study, an attempt was made to indicate the effect of using inappropriate operational conditions in a cryogenic Joule-Thomson cooling system...

Heat exchangers are the most important equipment in refrigeration processes. Design and modeling of heat exchangers operating at low temperatures are different from other regular heat exchangers. This study includes two sections. In the first section, design and modeling considerations needed for evaluating the real thermal behavior of heat exchangers at low temperatures were discussed. The...

Double-pipe counter-flow heat exchangers are considered more suitable for recovery in the transfer industry. Numerous studies have been conducted to develop static tools optimizing operating parameters of exchangers. Using this study, an improved exchanger system will be developed. This is frequently used solve optimization problems and find optimal solutions. The Taguchi method determines crit...
