## Abstract The flow distribution through a plateβfin heat exchanger is studied by using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. The flow distribution through any heat exchanger affects its performance. In designing a heat exchanger, it is assumed that the fluid is uniformly distributed
This paper discusses the occurrence of various flow patterns of a cold, upflowing twophase stream in an aluminium plate-fin heat exchanger (PFHE) and their impact on the overall heat exchanger performance. Various flow patterns were observed in a flow visualization rig comprising a single PFHE passa
