    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Brazed plate heat exchangers; CFD; heat transfer; pressure drop; heat exchanger selection software; transcritical-CO2 calculations; heat exchanger rating; evaporation; condensation; refrigerant properties; discretized calculations;

    Abstract : This thesis work presents various performance estimation methods of compact brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHE) operating in single phase, condenser, evaporator, cascaded and transcritical applications. Such methods play a vital role in development of heat exchanger selection software and during geometry parameter estimation in the new product development process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Thermal and Hydraulic Performance of Enhanced Rectangular Tubes for Compact Heat Exchangers

    Author : Carl-Olof Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LDV; heat exchanger; enhanced heat transfer; radiator; smoke visualization; pressure drop; secondary flow;

    Abstract : The thermal and hydraulic performance of rib-roughened, dimpled and offset strip fin tubes has been investigated experimentally. Results from measurements on commercially manufactured tubes have shown that rib-roughened tubes have best potential for heat transfer enhancement with moderate pressure drop increase. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thermal and hydraulic performance of compact brazed plate heat exchangers operating as evaporators in domestic heat pumps
