Abstract:CFD analyses of flow characteristics and heat transfer topology in a heat exchanger duct (HXD) placed with three various configurations of the double V-baffles (DVB) are reported. Parameters of interest are DVB height ratios (b/H = 0.05 -0.25), gap spacing ratios (g = 0.05 -0.40), flow directions (+x, -x), and DVB configurations (Type I, II and III). Laminar flow with Reynolds numbers (based on the inlet conditions) between 100 -2000 is measured. The present problem is solved with the finite volume method (a c… Show more
