Investigation on the Effect of Length and Amplitude of Sinusoidal Wavy Vortex Generators on the Heat Transfer Rate, Pressure Drop, and London Factor in Compact Heat Exchangers
Abstract:Compact heat exchangers (CHE) improve the heat transfer rate with lighter weight and lower volume than other counterparts. An important point in CHEs is their higher pressure drop relative to conventional heat exchangers. This study aims to investigate the heat transfer rate and pressure drop in some proposed models of these heat exchangers with/without vortex generators (VGs) in different cases. A hot fluid of temperature 350°C flowing through tubes and a cold fluid of temperature 300°C circulating inside the… Show more
