Statistical Model to Predict Air Side Pressure Drop for Heat Exchangers

Aerothermal Characterisation of Surface Heat Exchangers for Turbofans

“…Since it is of extreme importance to consider the pressure drop caused by the heat exchanger in some scenarios, Dube et al [33] developed a statistical model that could predict it depending on the main parameters of the heat exchanger such as fin density, height or thickness, among others. This is because a great part of the energy loss produced by a heat exchanger is closely related to flow-solid interaction.…”
