This monograph introduces a numerical computational methodology for
thermal performance modeling of cross-flow heat exchangers, with
applications in chemical, refrigeration and automobile industries.
This methodology allows obtaining effectiveness-number of transfer
units (e-NTU) data and has been used for simulating several
standard and complex flow arrangements configurations of cross-flow
heat exchangers. Simulated results have been validated through
comparisons with results from available exact and approximate
analytical solutions. Very accurate results have been obtained over
wide ranges of NTU and C* values in all cases. The proposed
procedure constitutes a useful research tool for both theoretical
and experimental studies of cross-flow heat exchangers. The
following are the unique features of the book: - The monograph
includes the computational code named HETE (Heat Exchanger Thermal
Effectiveness) in Chapter 5. A version of this code is available
for downloading. - The computational procedure could be used for
reducing experimental data using the effectiveness - NTU (e-NTU)
method in research and industrial laboratories. - Even after more
than one century in heat exchanger research, the search for new
flow arrangements with higher effectiveness still is an unsolved
problem. The present methodology could be a useful tool in pursuing
that goal.
