Generalized correlations for predicting heat transfer and pressure drop in plate heat exchanger channels of arbitrary geometry

Characteristics of the flow in chevron plate heat exchangers are investigated through visualization tests of channels with beta = 28 degrees and beta = 61 degrees. Mathematical model is then develo ...
