Effect of Secondary Vortex Flow Near Contact Point on Thermal Performance in the Plate Heat Exchanger with Different Corrugation Profiles
The present study numerically investigates thermal performance and turbulent flow characteristics of chevron-type plate heat exchangers with sinusoidal, trapezoidal, triangular, and elliptical corrugation profiles. The commercial code of ANSYS Fluent (v. 17.0) is used for computational fluid dynamic...
