Studies on Nusselt Number for Corrugated Plate Heat Exchanger using Oil

Abstract

the corrugated plate heat exchangers were more efficient in both heat transfer and efficiency when compared to standard smooth tube heat exchangers. In the present experiment, three different angles (300, 400, 500) of corrugated plate heat exchangers with a channel spacing of 15 mm, length of 30 cm and width of 10 cm were considered to investigate the heat transfer studies. As a heat transfer medium, an oil was taken as hot fluid and water were taken as cold fluid. The heat transfer analysis was conducted on the corrugated plate heat exchangers to find the behaviour of a heat exchanger using oil and water. This was done by comparing the results of the Nusselt number. The outcome of this study will give the overview of corrugated plate heat exchanger for oil.
