Hydraulic performance of a microchannel PCHE

A newly developed type PCHE (Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger), which has a longitudinal corrugation flow channel, was fabricated using etching and diffusion bonding to evaluate its hydraulic performance. The result of a three-dimensional numerical simulation are presented, conducted using commercial...

Description
Summary:A newly developed type PCHE (Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger), which has a longitudinal corrugation flow channel, was fabricated using etching and diffusion bonding to evaluate its hydraulic performance. The result of a three-dimensional numerical simulation are presented, conducted using commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT in the lower Reynolds number range (Re
