Review of Heat Exchangers' Role in Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer

Abstract

The most popular thermal systems that have
been historically employed in a variety of
uses, both industrial and environmental are
heat exchangers. This paper focuses on a
thorough research paper on heat exchangers;
heat is transferred while fluid is moving,
using different surface characteristics, such as
corrugated, wavy, dimpled, etc., and flow
through different channels. The use of various
waveforms, including sinusoidal, wavy, ushaped, etc., has increased the way heat
exchangers work thermally, by utilizing a
variety of fluids and a combination of
nanoparticles which primarily serves to
improve the phenomenon of mass and heat
transfer connected to significant pressure
differential. Fundamentally, the flow over any
arbitrary surface is far more complex and
advanced than the flow over a smooth surface,
if the flow is turbulent or laminar. In
ascending the flow, properties should be
investigated by several types of heat
exchangers for the numerous technological
purposes indicated in this work. Several sort
of research have been conducted
experimentally, numerically, and
computationally
