Type of article: Article

Summary

The evaluation is based on a theoretical model of the Hampson-type counter-flow heat exchanger. The effect of the pressure and temperature-dependent properties and longitudinal heat conduction are considered. The results of the numerical simulation are validated with the corresponding experimental measurements. The performance of the heat exchanger is analyzed and discussed. The simulation model provides a useful tool for miniature Joule-Thomson cooler design.
