Laminar flow in chevron-type plate heat exchangers: CFD analysis of tortuosity, shape factor and friction factor
Liquid foodstuffs with high viscosity are usually processed in plate heat exchangers (PHEs) at laminar or low Reynolds numbers, Re, flows. The tortuosity coefficient is used by the manufacturers for the design and optimization of PHE geometries. Using the finite-element computational fluid dynamics...
