The variation of friction factor and colburn factor with different Reynolds number for different surface configuration
Compact heat exchangers (CHE) are very well known for their special design which includes high heat transfer coefficient and maximum temperature driving force between the hot and cold fluids. The accurate prediction of the thermal performance of a compact heat exchanger in the design stage is highly desirable for most aerospace applications. In the present study, the numerical investigation for...
متن کاملSecond Law Based Optimisation of Crossflow Plate-fin Heat Exchanger Design Using Genetic Algorithm
A genetic algorithm based optimisation technique has been developed for crossflow plate-fin heat exchangers using offset strip fins. The algorithm takes care of large number of continuous as well as discrete variables in the presence of given constraints. The optimisation program aims at minimising the number of entropy generation units for a specified heat duty under given space restrictions. ...
متن کاملLocal Heat Transfer and the Effects of Turbulence on Interrupted-fin Surfaces
Project Overview Interrupted-fin surfaces are used to enhance the air-side heat transfer performance in many compact heat exchangers. While many empirical correlations are available in the open literature for offset-strip and louvered-fin geometries, local heat transfer behavior on individual fins is not as well understood. A redesign of these surfaces may result in higher heat transfer. Inlet ...
متن کاملCompact Heat Exchangers for Microturbines
With distributed power generation market, the most economical solution today is to generate power through small gas turbine systems, arbitrarily categorized as microturbines (5 – 200 kW) and miniturbines (200 – 500 kW). The thermal efficiency of such microturbines is about 20% or less if no recuperator is used in the system. Using a recuperator (regenerator can also be considered but has a numb...
