“…For corrugation angle of 50°, high U value is indicated at mass flow rate of 0.08 kg/s. These results are excellent agreement with past studies on CPHE with different fluids [2,[8][9][10]19].…”

“…Many experimental [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and simulation study [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] shows that the rate of heat transfer enhance with using of corrugated plate heat exchanger (CPHE). The experimental investigation on CPHE for single phase flow of Reynolds number ranging from 500 to 2500 had shown an enhancement in heat transfer coefficient and they derived correlations between Nusselts number and Reynolds number [3].…”

“…Optimization studies are conducted on the corrugated type of gasketed-plate heat exchanger using dairy milk [13]. The researchers also performed numerical studies to analyze the heat transfer mechanism and fluid flow regimes using CFD tools with flat plate heat exchanger and corrugated plate heat exchanger [15][16][17][18][19][20]. The advantage using CFD study is that, the temperature can be measured at any particular point in the model is possible.…”

“…The advantage using CFD study is that, the temperature can be measured at any particular point in the model is possible. Many of them developed the correlations on the heat transfer coefficient as well as Nusselts number as a function of Reynolds number using PHE [16,17] and CPHE [18][19][20]. Recently, CFD simulation performed with modification design of CPHE shown improved thermal performance and effectiveness with water-water as test fluid [20].…”

This paper reports an experimental comparative thermal analysis of a flat plate heat exchanger and corrugated plate heat exchanger (CPHE) of different corrugation angles using ethylene glycol as test fluid. The experiments were carried out counter current mode using water as hot fluid at 75°C. Design of each plate provided with eleven thermocouple sensors to determine the temperatures, in which seven were used to measure the surface temperature of plate and four were used to measure the inlet and outlet bulk temperature of cold and hot fluids. The mass flow rate of test fluid, varied between 0.5 to 4 liters per minute and corresponding steady state temperatures is measured. Using experimental readings, temperature difference between the inlet and outlet streams (DT), logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) and overall heat transfer coefficient (U) are determined. The obtained DT and U values of corrugation angles (300, 500) of CPHE were compared with those of flat plate heat exchangers. For corrugation angle of 30° and 50°, the DT and U values increases with increase of mass flow rate of the fluid.
