Numerical Analysis of Header Configuration of the Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger

Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

Numerical analysis of a plate fin heat exchanger accounting for the effect of fluid flow maldistribution onthe inlet header configuration of the heat exchanger is investigated. In this analysis , it was found that flow maldistribution has effect on the flow perpendicular to its velocity direction. The peak velocity occurs in the central zone of the header while the velocityalong the perpendicular direction of the inlet flow diminishes more and more. By this investigation,the results of the flow maldistribution are presented for a plate fin heat exchangerwhich is reduced as compare to theexisting configuration of the plate fin heat exchanger
