Abstract

The main objective of our work is to analysis the heat transfer rate for various fluids with different matrix heat exchanger (MHE) models and flow characteristic in matrix heat exchanger by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package with small car. The amount of heat carried by the cold fluid from hot fluid is mainly depends upon the mass flow rate of the working fluid. The heat transfer area per unit volume of tube is more. So, it increases the temperature of the cold fluid. Here, the hot and cold fluids are moving in the alternate tubes of heat exchanger in the counter flow direction. The small amounts of pressure drop are occurred but which is less compared to existing model. Flow disturbances are rectified in the MHE through the modifications made. Since, silicon carbide material is used as a polishing material to avoid the deposit of carbon at the inner side of the flow passage and this waste heat energy is used for heating passenger cabin during winter season. The wood is used as an insulating material to avoid the heat flow from fluid to atmosphere. Keywords-Heat transfer rate, Matrix heat exchanger, Working fluid, Polishing material.
