  • Presents numerical modelling and experimental testing of heat exchangers with a particular focus on finned-tube cross-flow devices
  • Covers the entire range of issues related to the single-phase convective heat transfer in heat exchangers, including design and operation calculations, as well as experimental testing of the devices
  • Highlights the experimental determination of correlations for the gas- and the liquid-side Nusselt number that enable calculation of mean heat transfer coefficients in the whole heat exchanger
  • Provides a detailed discussion of the procedures for determining the uncertainty of physical quantities or parameters determined indirectly, including parameters found using the least squares method based on a high number of measuring series

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control (SSDC, volume 161)

About this book

This book presents new methods of numerical modelling of tube heat exchangers, which can be used to perform design and operation calculations of exchangers characterized by a complex flow system. It also proposes new heat transfer correlations for laminar, transition and turbulent flows. A large part of the book is devoted to experimental testing of heat exchangers, and methods for assessing the indirect measurement uncertainty are presented. Further, it describes a new method for parallel determination of the Nusselt number correlations on both sides of the tube walls based on the nonlinear least squares method and presents the application of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling to determine the air-side Nusselt number correlations. Lastly, it develops a control system based on the mathematical model of the car radiator and compares this with the digital proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The book is intended for students, academics and researchers, as well as for designers and manufacturers of heat exchangers.
