A numerical analysis of three-dimensional heat transfer and fluid flow in chevron plate channels.

Author(s) : JANG J. Y., LIN C. N.

Summary

A numerical study of thermal-hydraulic characteristics of turbulent flow between two parallel chevron plates is presented. Flow is incompressible and three-dimensional, and the effects of turbulence are simulated by Chen's k-omega extended turbulence model. The numerical results are presented. It is shown that both the heat transfer coefficients and pressure drop are increased as the inclination angle is increased. A chevron plate with beta= 40 °C, gives the largest flow area goodness factor (j/f).
