Validating the Heat Transfer in a Novel Heat Exchanger - SimScale Competition

About this project

Heat Exchanger performance is integral to the enhancement of energy efficiency. Typical heat exchangers are equipped with parallel flow and/or counter-flow arrangements. Two fluids flowing in parallel or in opposite direction to each other serve as heat sinks or sources as the requirement may be. This study considers a novel consideration for a heat exchanger, wherein, the heat exchanger consists of tube with a narrow slot oriented in the stream-wise direction. This study is aimed at validating the novel design against experimental hence providing a proof-of-concept.
