Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop During HC-600a (Isobutane) Condensation Inside a Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger

This paper presents the heat transfer coefficients and the pressure drop measured during HC-600a (Isobutane) condensation inside a brazed plate heat exchanger: the effects of saturation temperature, refrigerant mass flux and vapour super-heating are investigated. The heat transfer coefficients show weak sensitivity to saturation temperature and great sensitivity to refrigerant mass flux. At low...

Heat Transfer Analysis of Nanofluid in a Sine Wave Plate Heat Exchanger

Heat transfer is one of the most critical processes in the industry, and by increasing the efficiency of the heat exchanger, energy consumption of systems will be reduced. Very tiny particles in nanoscale dimensions, when uniformly dispersed and stably suspended in the base fluid, efficiently improve the thermal properties of the base fluid. With the help of nanofluids, the heat transfer rate i...

Analysis of Heat Transfer Enhancement in Spiral Plate Heat Exchanger

In the present study, the heat transfer coefficients of benzene in a spiral plate heat exchanger are investigated. The test section consists of a Plate of width 0.3150 m, thickness 0.001 m and Mean hydraulic diameter of 0.01 m. The mass flow rate of water (Hot fluid) is varying from 0.5 kg sec to 0.8 kg sec and the mass flow rate of benzene (cold fluid) varies from 0.4 kg sec to 0.7 kg sec. Exp...

Experimental Analysis of Heat Transfer and Friction Factor in Plate Heat Exchanger with Different Orientations Using Al2O3 Nanofluids

Experimental investigations has been done to find out the heat transfer characteristics and friction factor of water based Al2O3 nanofluids as a coolant in  brazed plate heat exchanger. Plate heat exchanger either use horizontally or vertically. The base plate of the plate heat exchanger was kept inclined at (0⁰, 30⁰ ,60⁰, 90⁰). The experimentation have been done on the two different concentrat...
