CFD Assessment of Flow Maldistribution in Plate Fin and Tube Heat Exchangers

Abstract

The primary goal of this work is to use CFD assessment simulating framework is to anticipate the impact of injecting air flowing mal-distribution on heat exchanger architecture and thermal flow characteristics. Using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation-studies, determine the impact of air intake flow unequal distribution or mal-distribution on the complete redesign as well as high - temperature hydraulic performing ability of HEX (heat exchangers). The findings demonstrate that a plate as well as tube fin heating element consisting of an elongated tubular setup slanted by 30 degrees can achieve the highest temperature transmission, having a heat transfer ability of 23.22 percent greater than a (SPHEX) spherical pipe heat exchanger.
