Laminar flows in chevron-type plate heat exchangers: CFD analysis of tortuosity, shape factor and friction factor
Laminar or low Reynolds number flows are usually obtained when liquid foods with high viscosity are processed in plate heat exchangers (PHEs). The tortuosity coefficient is a key parameter used by PHEs manufacturers to estimate Fanning friction factors and convective heat transfer coefficients. Usin...
