Compact heat exchangers: A review and future applications for a new generation of high temperature solar receivers

Introductory Chapter: An Overview of Design, Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Heat Exchangers

“…A comprehensive review on performance of compact heat exchangers was also reported by Li et al [11]. Among other books and works, the book published by Sundén and Faghri [12] is a good source for numerical simulations in compact heat exchangers.…”

Recent Developments in High Temperature Heat Exchangers: A Review

“…Ceramic materials, however, have excellent temperature resistance as well as corrosion resistance, making them the material of choice for HTHXs. Heat exchangers made out of ceramic materials have higher temperature capability, good corrosion and creep resistance, and low material cost, but low pressure containment capability compared to metal heat exchangers (Li et al, 2011).…”

Introductory Chapter: Advanced Features and Applications of Heat Exchangers–An Outline

“…The review by Li et al [11] reported the performances of compact heat exchangers, including well-established devices, some relative newcomers to the market and also designs still being tested in the laboratory. The structures, heat transfer enhancement mechanisms, advantages, and limitations are summarized, and an example of an application as a solar receiver is given.…”
