Effect of corrugation angle on the thermal behaviour of power-law fluids during a flow in plate heat exchangers

In this study, CFD calculations were made in order to analyze the thermal behaviour of a power-law fluid in the channels of plate heat exchangers with corrugation angles of 30º and 60º. For the observed laminar flow, the numerical results show the absence of a typical local temperature profile in th...
