A heat exchanger is a device that enables heat from one fluid (liquid or gas) to be transferred to some other fluid (liquid or gas) without the two fluids mixing or coming into direct contact. The various sorts of fluid flows in different types of heat exchanging systems are discussed in this paper.Heat exchangers can be found in a variety of locations, generally working to warm up or cool buildings or to improve the efficiency of engines and machineries. Refrigerators and air conditioners, for example, use heat exchangers in the opposite way that central heating systems do: they remove heat from a chamber or room that isn't needed and pump it away in a fluid to another location that can be dropped out of the way. The refrigerating fluid is completely enclosed within a series of channels, so it never comes into direct contact with the air: it extracts heat energy from the air inside and dumps it in the air outside, but it never mixes with it.
Cooling, warming, and air-conditioning systems, electric utilities, chemical based processing structures, food industry, automotive vehicle radiators, and waste heat recovery units are all examples of heat exchanger implementations. Heat exchangers in power plants include air preliminary heaters, economizers, evaporators, super-heaters, condensing systems, and cooling towers. Theoretical and simulation fluid dynamics assessments of varying patterns of a concentric TTHEX were conducted in this study with the intent of enhancing thermal efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
