Analysis of water condensation and two-phase flow in a channel relevant for plate heat exchangers
Water vapor condensation and two-phase flow appear in plate heat exchangers being used as condensers. Analysis of water phase change and flow dynamics is an important but complicated task due to large change in water physical/transport properties across the water liquid-vapor interface boundary. In particular, a singular-link behaviour in Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations is present due to the larg...
متن کاملExperimental Study on Frost Height of Round Plate Fin-Tube Heat Exchangers for Mobile Heat Pumps
The objective of this study was to provide experimental data that could be used to predict frost growth and frost performance of a round plate fin-tube heat exchanger for low temperature heat pumps used in zero emission vehicles under cold weather conditions. In this study, round plate fin-tube heat exchangers were tested with variation of the fin space, air flow rate, relative humidity, and in...
متن کاملExperimental Study On R-134A Condensation Heat Transfer Characteristics In Plate And Shell Heat Exchangers
In this study, condensation heat transfer experiments were conducted with two types of plate and shell heat exchangers (P&SHE) using R-134A. An experimental refrigerant loop has been established to measure the condensation heat transfer coefficient of R-134A in a vertical P&SHE. Two vertical counter flow channels were formed in the P&SHE by stacking three plates of geometry with a corrugated tr...
متن کاملSimulation of stirred yoghurt processing in plate heat exchangers
In the present work, simulations of stirred yoghurt processing in a plate heat exchanger were performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations and the results compared with experimental data, showing a very good agreement. A Herschel–Bulkley model for the viscosity and an Arrhenius-type term for the temperature dependence were used to model the thermo-rheological behaviour of yog...
متن کاملEffectiveness of parallel-plate heat exchangers in thermoacoustic devices
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...
