Analysis of Gasketed-plate Heat Exchanger Performance Using Nanofluid

A heat exchanger using nanofluid needs to operate at optimum mass concentration level to get the maximum heat transfer performance. A numerical analysis is performed on the heat transfer and pressure drop of water-based γ-Al2O3 nanofluid gasketed-plate heat exchanger to specify its optimum conditions. Cold water will be heated by γ-Al2O3/water nanofluid. The results showed that optimal volume c...

Thermodynamic Optimization of Plate-fin Heat Exchanger Using Teaching-learning- Based Optimization (tlbo) Algorithm

This study explores the use of teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm for thermodynamic optimization of a plate-fin heat exchanger. Minimizing the total number of entropy generation units for specific heat duty requirement under given space restrictions is considered as objective function. Based on the applications heat exchanger length, fin frequency, numbers of fin layers, lanc...

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...
