Dealing with uncertainty is one of practical issues in design and operation of heat exchanger networks(HENs),arising the problem of flexible HEN synthesis.This paper addresses the state-of-the-art methods for flexible...
The characteristics of flow and heat transfer of shell-and-tube heat exchangers with overlapped helical baffles (STHXsHB) were illustrated through a theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The ideal helical flo...
Deep — Borehole Heat Exchanger ( DBHE) is generally installed as a co — axial pipe in deep boreholes? The DBHE can obtain heat without extracting groundwater. Literature review shows that the specific heat extractio...
Plate heat exchanger can obtain higher thermal performance because of its advantages in high heat transfer coefficient, small scale, and can realize pure counter current flow. It has been widely applied in HVAC indust...
Heat exchangers are devices in which heat is transferred from one fluid to another fluid as a result of temperature difference. Heat exchanger presented in the current paper in which inside the tubes flows water, but ...
Low-grade Thermal Energy Conversion (LTEC) is a potential source of renewable energy. One of its forms is the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) in which the temperature difference between the warm surface water a...
