Abstract

Fluid flow in the channels of plate-type heat exchangers is modeled by a two-dimensional flow in plane channels with distributed resistance to fluid flow determined by the nature of the corrugation of the plates. Such an approach permits one to find the distribution of pressure and fluid flow velocity over the plate field, and then, with the use of the semiempirical dependence of heat transfer coefficient on pressure gradient, to determine the distribution and mean value of the heat transfer coefficient on the field of the heat exchanger plate.
