Heat transfer to Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in cross-corrugated chevron-type plate heat exchangers: numerical approach

Food fluids are frequently processed in plate heat exchangers (PHEs) and usually behave as non-Newtonian fluids, this behaviour being scarcely considered for PHEs design purposes. Moreover, many food fluids processed in PHEs have a high viscosity and, therefore, data obtained in laminar flow regime...
