Thermal performance investigation in a novel corrugated plate heat exchanger

Heat transfer characteristics and entropy generation analysis in a plate heat exchanger using ethylene glycol and water mixture‐based Al2O3 nanofluid

“…Many attempts have also been made to enhance the design of heat transfer devices and improve the heat transfer efficiency of working fluids. [1][2][3][4][5] The plate heat exchanger (PHX) is considered as one of the commonly used heat transfer devices in many industries, including food manufacturing, heating and cooling applications, power plants, central cooling systems and chemical processing due to its excellent heat transfer capacity and compact design. In addition, the easy adjustment of the heat transfer area can be accomplished by adding or removing the plates on the PHXs.…”

Thermal performance of corrugated plate heat exchanger using ethylene glycol as test fluid

“…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].…”

“…While most studies focus on CPHE are limited to either air or water as the test fluid [4,15,[18][19][20]. This paper focuses to maximization of heat transfer of ethylene glycol using CPHE.…”
