Abstract

ABSTRACT Analytical and numerical solutions for determining the dimensions of a cross-flow heat exchanger under different conditions have been developed in this study. The analytical solution using the ε-NTU method is used to find the initial dimensions of the cross-flow heat exchanger. The numerical solution is used to validate the analytical solution and optimise the cooling coil dimensions. The ε-NTU design results show the effect of water mass flow rate, air inlet velocity, and the outer tube diameter of the cooling coil. The distribution of air and water temperatures through the heat exchanger can be predicted by solving the basic Navier-Stokes equation and energy equation using numerical methods.
