Summary

Heat exchangers have been used in a wide variety of applications. Typical among them are the district heating stations, heat recovery systems, HVAC systems, food and chemical process systems, and oil cooling systems. Plate type heat exchanger is one of the best examples for the advancement and technological development in compact heat exchanger due to its high thermal efficiency. In the present study, the air–water two-phase flow characteristics including flow pattern and velocity distribution inside a plate heat exchanger are numerically investigated. The void fraction of two phase flow is observed in different time. The velocity distribution is investigated for different void fraction of flow.
