ANSYS FLUENT TRAINING: Planar Heat Exchanger with Mixing Tabs CFD Simulation
https://www.mr-cfd.com/shop/planar-he...
In this project, a 3D simulation of a 4-layer planar heat exchanger with mixeing tabs in each layer is investigated. Steady hot (T=286.5K) and cold (T=276.5K) water flows enter the planar domain and moving through the heat exchanging region and generating vortex flows by colliding with the mixing tabs. Also, the residance time of the fluids and the contact surfaces increase in existance of these mixing tabs, which lead to a more heat transfer between the hot and cold flows. Both flows exit the heat exchanging domain with approximately equal temperature (T=282K).
