Abstract:Accurate prediction of the impact of flow maldistribution on the thermo-hydraulic behavior of plate heat exchangers is important for thermal design and optimization in a number of practical applications. In this paper, a coupled modeling framework, consisting of a heat transfer model and a hydraulic model, is proposed for quantitatively evaluating the impact of maldistribution on the thermo-hydraulic performance of a cross-flow-corrugated plate heat exchanger. The numerical results of the proposed approach are… Show more
