This paper presents a comprehensive and exclusive thermodynamic analysis of counter flow heat exchanger under various operating and geometrical conditions. Analysis system (ANSYS) workbench 14.0 has been used for computational analysis and comparison with previous literature has been carried out in view of variable temperature and mass flow rate of hot and cold fluids. An analytical and statist...

An experimental investigation for helical triple concentric tube heat exchanger has been carried out with different flow arrangements i.e. N-H-C (normal fluid inside hot at middle cold in outer annulus) and C-H-N (cold fluid in inner pipe hot in middle normal fluid in outer annulus) with parallel and counter flow types. The temperature distribution of fluids w.r.t. length of the heat exchanger ...

The single-phase flow and thermal performance of a double pipe heat exchanger are examined by experimental methods. The working fluid is water at atmospheric pressure. Temperature measurements at the inlet and outlet of the two streams and also at an intermediate point half way between the inlet and outlet is made, using copper-constantan thermocouple wires. Mass flow rates for each stream are ...

In this paper, a comprehensive study on the performance of parallel plate and rectangular micro channel counter flow heat exchangers is presented. The geometrical parameters of the two configurations are optimized for a given heat transfer rate, effectiveness and pressure drop. In case of rectangular micro channel counter flow heat exchanger, a reduced order model is developed first in which re...

In this paper, overall heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of water based γ-Al2O3 nanofluid in a double tube counter flow heat exchanger have been measured experimentally under turbulent flow condition. For better dispersion of γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles in distilled water, magnetic stirrer and ultrasonic vibrator (with a power of 240 kW and frequency of 35 kHz) were implemented. The stabi...

The effect of pulsation on the heat transfer rates, for turbulent water stream with upstream pulsation of different amplitudes, in a double-pipe heat exchanger for both parallel and counter flows, with cold water on the shell side, was investigated. Pulsation frequencies, with using a reciprocating device, ranged up to 260 cycles per minute (up to 4.3 Hz) and 5 different displacement amplitudes...
