Improving the heat transfer performance of conventional fluid creates significant energy savings in process Industries. In this aspect, an experimental study was performed to evaluate Fe2O3-water (W)-engine oil (EO) nanofluid at different concentrations and hot inlet temperatures a plate exchanger. Experiments were conducted by mixing Fe2O3 nanoparticles (45 nm) W-EO mixture base with volume fr...

Heat exchanger networks are widely employed in the chemical processing industries to recover energy, resulting in reduced operating costs. Several methodologies can be found in the literature for the design of heat exchanger networks. Typical criteria are maximum energy recovery and minimum heat transfer area. However, the heat integration of process streams can lead to process structures that ...

Heat exchanger performance is significantly reduced in the presence of impurities one or both fluid streams, frequently by deposits inversely soluble salts. Accordingly, immense efforts were and still are spent to combat, predict, investigate such fouling problems mitigate reduction heat transfer performance. In this study, calcium carbonate crystallization a corrugated plate was investigated. ...

A plate-fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger widely used in air conditioners, and tubes and fins are tightly assembled by the mechanical expansion process of tubes. The tube expansion process deforms the grooves inside the tube, and the groove shapes also affect the adhesion between tubes and fins. In this study, the adhesion and heat transfer performance affected by the tube expansio...
