Investigation of Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Plate Heat Exchanger Taking into Account Entrance Effects and Variation in Corrugation Height

의 형태로 상관관계식을 제시하였다. 이러한 상관관계식은 향후 판형열교환기 설계시에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.Abstract: Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a plate heat exchanger. The multi-cell models with inlet part and outlet part are used for performing numerical simulation. The plate heat exchanger is characterized by chevron angle of 15°, corrugation pitch of 24mm and corrugation height 6~12mm. The length of the inlet-part considered in the analysis ranges from 24.8 to 124mm and Reynolds numbers range from 1,000 to 10,000. The correlations such as friction factor and Colburn factor are compared with previous experimental data. The results can be utilized for designing the plate heat exchanger.
