Pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a titanium brazed plate-fin heat exchanger with offset strip fins

Review of Experimental Analysis and Comparision of Results With Correlations Developed for Colburn Factor (J) and Friction Factor (F) in Plate Fin Heat Exchangers

“…Also by using a high-speed camera, they studied the distribution of pressure drop in the two-phase regime. Seara et al [33] analyzed a titanium brazed PFHE with serrated fins in liquid-liquid heat transfer process experimentally. They conducted the experiment by taking the water on both sides of the exchanger & determined heat transfer characteristics and the pressure drop.…”

A Review on Plate Fin Heat Exchanger

“…Experimental and numerical investigation of thermal -hydraulic performance in wavy fin-and-flat tube heat exchangers presented by Junqi Dong [6] et al, experimentally investigated the air flow and heat transfer characteristics over the wavy fin heat exchangers and the results of friction factor and heat transfer performance test data are for fully developed turbulent region of air flow in the wavy fin. José Fernández-Seara [7] et al, investigated on the pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a titanium brazed plate-fin heat exchanger with offset strip fins by using firstly water on both sides of the heat exchanger and secondly 10-30 wt% ethylene glycol aqueous solutions as working fluids and both the results were compared. The Experimental Setup is shown in the Fig.2.…”

Large Eddy simulation and Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes modeling of flow in staggered plate arrays: Comparison at various flow regimes

“…Due to their widespread utilization the prediction of OSF heat exchangers aero-thermal performances is of great importance. This type of enhanced fin geometry enhances heat transfer rate by enlarging surface area and by periodically interrupting the growth of the fluid boundary layer [1]. OSF heat exchange surface is known to have one of the highest heat transfer performances relative to the friction factor [2].…”
