Abstract
Comparison of Fluid Flow and Thermal Characteristics of Sequential and Simultaneous Crossflow Heat Exchangers
Highlights
Heat exchanger plays a vital role in both cooling and heating processes in domestic, commercial, transportation and industrial applications
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) with inlet temperatures of 150°C and 50-50 ethylene glycolwater mixture (EG) with inlet temperature of 105°Chave been cooled by crossflow air with inlet temperature of 25°C and velocity of 6.3m/s
In Case-I, the ethylene glycol-water mixture (EG)-heat exchanger (HX) has been employed in front of the automatic transmission fluid (ATF)-HX with respect to (w.r.t) the incoming ambient air
Summary
Heat exchanger plays a vital role in both cooling and heating processes in domestic, commercial, transportation and industrial applications. It is used in air-conditioning, refrigeration, automotive industry, process industry, petrochemical plants, power plant, nuclear reactor, and chemical reactors. Energy demands in every sector have been increasing progressively, while the energy sources are limited [1]. For that reason, it is the paramount for many industries to develop such a heat exchanger that can deliver higher heat transfer. Vehicle performance is usually evaluated based on fuel consumption and emissions.
