Abstract:

This review paper presents the advances in plate fin heat exchangers. A considerable amount of experimental as well as numerical and computational research has been carried out on the enhancement of heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics and other parameters. In this review study, a brief survey of the relevant literature is presented to indicate the extent of work already reported in open literature pertaining to the enhancement of heat transfer by introducing protrusions mounted on the heat transfer surfaces. This section deals with the overview of the past work involving the use of various plate fin heat exchangers on different surface geometries i.e. rectangular channel, fin-tube heat exchangers etc.

Keywords:

heat exchangers, pressure drop heat transfer.
