Abstract:Pillow-plate heat exchangers (PPHE) are manufactured as stacks of pillow plates, with a typical wavy surface. They represent a promising alternative to conventional equipment for the process industry; however, the lack of published design methods hinders their widespread application. Over the past years, our group has been intensively studying PPHE, using both theoretical and experimental methods. In the present contribution, the results of a CFD-based investigation of single-phase flow and heat transfer in bo… Show more
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.
