Abstract

ABSTRACT Non-uniformities in flow and temperature are the most conspicuous reason behind diminishing efficacy in heat exchangers. Cross-flow three-fluid heat exchanger being a pivotal component in cryogenics, is experimentally investigated under imposed flow and temperature non-uniformities in central hot fluid. The interaction of combined flow and temperature non-uniformity invariably precipitates a degradation in the efficacy of both adjacent fluids. About 7.3% and 6.2% of efficacy degradation is encountered in fluid “a” (for C 2 configuration) and fluid “c” (for C 1 configuration), respectively, for F N 1 + T N III model. In many cases, C 1 configuration and T N III model is inimical to fluid “c” performance.
