Abstract |
|
The flow pattern through a heat exchanger affects the required heat exchanger surface. A counter flow heat exchanger needs the lowest heat transfer surface area. A heat exchanger can have several different flow patterns. Counter flow, parallel flow and cross flow are common heat exchanger types. In this thesis, analysis is done to compare the heat transfer rates between the two basic flow arrangements: (i) the unidirectional flow and (ii) bidirectional flow. CFD analysis and thermal analysis is done on the heat exchanger for different fluids, by taking hot water and refrigerants R134A, R22, R600A and different materials of heat exchangers. 3D models are done in Pro/Engineer and analysis is done in Ansys. |
