Manufacturing technology has progressed significantly since beginning of 21st century; many new and sophisticated forms of heat transfer surfaces have been in use in CHEs. The design data for these surfaces are limited in the open literature and most of aerospace industry, CHE manufactures keeps the design data as proprietary.
“Compact heat exchanger analysis, design and optimization: FEM and CFD Approach” is an attempt to bring new concepts of design data generation numerically which is cost effective and more generic design data, which can be used by any design and practicing engineers more effectively. The specialty of this book is the numerical design data, which was generated by same authors during last two decades and it was already published in more than 50 international journals and conferences. The numerical methods/techniques are introduced for estimation of performance deteriorations like flow non-uniformity, temperature non-uniformity and longitudinal heat conduction effects using FEM in CHE unit level and Colburn j factors and Fanning friction f factors data generation method for various types of CHE fins using CFD. In addition, worked examples for single and two-phase flow CHEs are provided and the complete qualification tests are given for CHEs use in aerospace applications.
