Numerical study on flow and heat transfer performance of a spiral-wound heat exchanger for natural gas

The spiral-wound heat exchanger is a key equipment in the liquefied natural gas application, but the flow and heat transfer mechanisms remain unclarified. In this study, a three-dimensional numerical model is created, focusing on exploring the impact of four crucial structural parameters on the flow...
