This paper shows that the main architectural features of a counter#ow heat exchanger can be determined based on thermodynamic optimization subject to volume constraint. It is assumed that the channels are formed by parallel plates, the two #uids are ideal gases, and the #ow is fully developed, lamin

This paper presents a cross-flow plate type heat exchanger which has been studied and manufactured in the laboratory conditions because of its effective use in waste heat recovery systems. This new heat exchanger is tested with an applicable experimental set up, considering temperatures, velocity of
The concept of EGM (Entropy Generation Minimization) is applied to the design of an optimum CIC (Cable-In-Conduit) superconducting cable for large scale superconducting magnets, which is cooled by supercritical helium flow inside a conduit at cryogenic temperature. Three factors are considered to ev
This paper aims to show the application of the analytical approach presented recently by Gottifredi et al. [lnt. J. Heat Mass Trans@ 26, 1215-1220 (1983)] to the generalized Graetz-Nusselt problem, in order to estimate the mixing-cup temperature of a power-law fluid which is flowing through a duct w
