Abstract
An analysis of a crossflow compact heat exchanger is carried out using a finite element model. The predictions are in good agreement with analytical solutions available for cases with constant heat transfer coefficients. The analysis is extended to variable heat transfer coefficient cases and the results compared with constant heat transfer coefficient cases. In addition to thermal analysis, the pressure drops are calculated for all cases.
