Pressure loss and heat transfer characterisation of intersecting hole heat exchangers

Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics in Straight Microchannel of Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers

Performance tests were carried out for a microchannel printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE), which was fabricated with micro photo-etching and diffusion bonding technologies. The microchannel PCHE was tested for Reynolds numbers in the range of 100‒850 varying the hot-side inlet temperature between 40 °C–50 °C while keeping the cold-side temperature fixed at 20 °C. It was found that the average...

Application of ZnO/TiO2 Nanocomposite for the Improvement of Heat Transfer Coefficient in Tube Heat Exchangers

The potential of nanofluids for the improvement of heat transfer coefficient in various heat exchangeequipment has been considered and studied as a major application during recent decades. In this research,heat transfer coefficient of ZnO, TiO2 and ZnO/TiO2 nanofluids in a shell and tube heat exchanger has beenstudied experimentally. ZnO nanoparticle was synthesized through pre...

Friction Loss and Heat Transfer Coefficient in Finned Tube Heat Exchangers for Reheating Massecuites

Equations developed for packed columns may be used to predict the overall heat transfer coefficient and friction loss in massecuite reheaters. The results seem to indicate that exchangers with the tubes staggered give higher heat transfer rates than those with the tubes in line.

The effect of hemispherical chevrons angle, depth, and pitch on the convective heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in compact plate heat exchangers

Plate heat exchangers are widely used in industries due to their special characteristics, such as high thermal efficiency, small size, light weight, easy installation, maintenance, and cleaning. The purpose of this study is to consider the effect of depth, angle, and pitch of hemispheric Chevrons on the convective heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop. In the simulation of the heat ex...
