Where pressure drop ratio was 50
hi = the heat transfer coefficient between the hot medium
and the heat transfer surface (w/m2 k)
ho = the heat transfer coefficient between the heat transfer
surface and cold medium(w/m 2k)
x = thickness of heat transfer surface (m)
Rf = fouling factor (w /m k)
5. LITERATURE REVIEW
Khan T.S .et al. [3] presented their experiment for single
phase flow (water to water ) in commercial PHE for
symmetric corrugation angle 300/300 , 600/600 and mixed
angle 300/600 .The Reynolds number and Prandtl have been
taken in range of 500 Re 2500 and 3.5 Pr 6.5 respectively
during the experiment. After the experimental data a
correlation to estimate Nusselt number as function of
Reynolds number , Prandtl number and chevron angle has
been proposed. Figure 3 Geometrical characteristics of plate surface
corrugation.[5]
