Characteristics of flow in chevron type plate heat exchangers

The paper presents the results of the research and visualisation tests concerning flow between corrugated chevron plates commonly employed in plate heat exchangers. The influences of the chevron angle &#61538 ; ; , Re number and corrugation aspect ratio b/l on the flow pattern and performances are delineated. The experimental heat transfer data available from the open literature are compared against the results obtained from the H. Martin&#8217 ; ; s semi-empirical correlation.
