An investigation of two-phase flow characteristics in chevron-style flat plate heat exchangers.
Author(s) : BAI X., NEWELL T. A.
Summary
The main objectives are the causes of plate wetting/drying, measurement of fluid flow field characteristics, and the effects of enhanced plate passageways. Three types of passageways are being investigated. Pressure-drop and flow distribution data are examined over a Reynolds number range of 5000-30 000. Different passageway orientations are investigated. The paper will present flow field results for chevron-style and smooth-walled heat exchanger passageways with air and alkylbenzene oils as working fluids.
