This work presents a part of a complex
research program based on optimization and
design of plates for heat exchangers and
shows the results of experimental research
conducted on a plate heat exchanger with
pipe arrangement in an alternate pattern. For
transferring the heat and temperature from
one body to another body thermodynamic
laws are used in the heat exchanger. In the
early time technology which was used in heat
transferring was traditional and less inferior
effective. With the help of technologically
advanced new designs have been given to heat
exchangers. Plate heat exchanger fouling
decreases by almost 10 to 25% due to the
presence of shear stress and shear rates,
plushy turbulence, secondary flow, and
mixing and pattern of plate corrugation as
equate to shell and tube exchanger in heat
transfer. The friction factor is inferior
because of the rectangular shape plate in this
heat exchanger and the result of this plate
type heat exchanger is a boost inefficiency.
