Design And Comparative Analysis Of A Ceramic Heat Exchanger In High Temperature Regions Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

ABSTRACT

Compact heat exchangers are generally used in industries energy requirement, minimal space, and desired thermal performance. Many process industries largely depends on the performance of the heat exchangers owing to the efficiency and economy of the entire process. The proposed plate Pn heat exchanger is based on the rip-saw design and is required for application which require intense operating temperatures. Fins which are extensions of the surface increases the heat transfer enhancement or thermal performance. Two materials which are Aluminum Nitride (MN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) are put into consideration having their perfornnincc parameters like heat transfer rate, drop in pressure and effectiveness calculated.
