Design and Optimization of the Inlet Header Structure in Microchannel Heat Exchanger Based on Flow Distribution Uniformity

Design and Optimization of the Inlet Header Structure in Microchannel Heat Exchanger Based on Flow Distribution Uniformity

The flow distribution in a printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is of great theoretical and practical significance in the Brayton cycle power generation system. For the straight barrel inlet header PCHE, when S-CO<sub>2</sub> flows in the PCHE, the structural types and working parameter...
