SIMULATION BASED PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF HEAT EXCHANGERS: A REVIEW
Keywords:
Simulation, Heat Exchangers, experimental vs. simulation analysis, flow rate, pressure drop, fouling.Abstract
This review paper has an emphasis on the purpose of simulating software over the operation of heat
exchangers and outcomes in different performing parameter. Due to quality of solution, it has been found that
Simulation software’s has a paramount position for the following areas of study in various types of heat
exchangers such as unequal fluid flow, fouling, pressure drop ,turbulence of fluid ,temperature difference
between two fluid ,thickness of material ,flow rate of fluid and thermal analysis in the design and optimization
phase. Thus heat exchanger has becomes the core area to study about. The various design modifications which
are implemented and studied through simulation software or compared with experimental and numerically
modeled analysis are also discussed in the paper.
