Abstract

Heat exchanger plays a crucial role in the functioning of chemical industries, diary and food processing industries, and thermal plants. The enhancements in heat exchangers are mainly aimed at minimizing the energy consumption. An efficient heat exchanger is one that provides high heat transfer rate with minimum pumping power at low cost for energy saving. PHEs are used in various engineering fields due to their simplicity, flexibility, and maintainability related to others. In this paper, passive surface enhancement methods for single-phase and two-phase flow and application of nanofluids in different types of PHE are reviewed. The effect of geometrical parameters on hydraulic-thermal performance and occurrence of fouling deposits in PHE are also discussed. The chevron angle is found to be the most dominating geometrical parameter to change the flow properties. HTC, Nu, and ΔP increased with the increase in β, γ, and ϕ. For the two-phase flow, ΔP increased with the rise in vapor quality, mass flow rate and reduced with increase in saturation pressure. The optimum geometrical parameters for maximum heat transfer are β: 30°-60°, γ: 0.075–0.6, and φ: 1.18–1.3. The use of nanofluids in laminar flow condition is suggested by most of the literature.
