An experimental analysis of the flow pattern in heat exchangers with an egg carton configuration (parallel, convergent and divergent cases)

2D simulation and analysis of fluid flow between two sinusoidal parallel plates using lattice Bolzmann method

“…The closest wave number from the inlet that presents macroscopic mixing can be observed in Table 2, as a function of Re number for simulation data and experimental data found in literature [1].…”

“…This behavior is independent of H avg (Figure 4; Tables 1 and 2). Table 1 shows, for a range of the Re number, the closest wave number from the inlet, in which rolling vortices appear compared to experimental data found in literature [1].…”

“…where V in is the average velocity at the inlet of the corrugated plates and υ is the kinematic viscosity [1].…”

“…One of the most often applied techniques was the use of wavy plates instead of flat plates [1], and many investigations showed that use of sinusoidal instead of flat plates enhances heat transfer without significant pressure drop [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

Fluid dynamics of liquid egg products

“…The flow velocity equation (11) is valid for fully undisturbulent flow in straight horizontal tubes. Real processing system contain many other elements such as valves, tees, elbows etc., which can cause mixing of fluid during flow [21][22][23][24]. In addition, pipe vibration caused by energy inputs from pumps may contribute to mixing.…”
