This study investigates the effect of flow maldistribution on the thermal performance of a three-fluid crossflow heat exchanger by the numerical method. In the inlets of three fluid streams, this study considers four modes of flow nonuniformity arrangement by using three flow maldistribution models.

An analysis of the crossflow plate-fin, crossflow tube-fin, counterfiow plate-fin and parallel flow plate-fin ccmpact heat exchangers accounting for the effect of 'longitudinal heat conduction' through the exchanger wall is carried out using a finite element method. The exchanger effectiveness and i
This study investigates the eect of longitudinal wall conduction on a crossΒ―ow heat exchanger including three Β―uid streams with three dierent arrangements. By using numerical method, this study calculates the exit mean temperature of each Β―uid stream and then computes the deterioration factor of eac
Counter Β―ow heat exchangers are commonly used in cryogenic systems because of their high eectiveness. In addition to operating and design parameters, the thermal performance of these heat exchangers is strongly governed by various losses such as longitudinal conduction through wall, heat in leak fro
