Research Update: Non-Newtonian Flows in Heat Exchangers
January 16, 2017
HTRI has begun a research program dedicated to non-Newtonian flows. In order to discuss the plans for this research program, this webinar reviews the following items: the definition non-Newtonian fluids, the use apparent viscosity, focusing on power law fluids, how non-Newtonian flows affect pressure drop and heat transfer in heat exchangers...

PHE-17-TR Liquid-phase and Boiling Testing in a Welded Plate Heat Exchanger
March 07, 2018
HTRI conducted liquid-phase and phase-change experiments in a welded plate heat exchanger (WPHE) provided by Hisaka Works, Ltd. With the test plate pack installed vertically, cold fluid flowed horizontally, and steam condensed downward. We conducted single-phase and boiling tests using p-xylene as the test fluid, as well as boiling tests using...

PHE-18-TR Shellside Boiling Tests in Plate-and-shell Heat Exchanger
July 10, 2018
HTRI collected flow boiling data using a plate-and-shell heat exchanger (PSHE) provided by Vahterus Oy. In the exchanger, steam condensed on the plate side, and process fluids—pure n-pentane and a mixture of n-pentane and p-xylene—boiled on the shell side. This report discusses the data and analysis, including evaluations using Xphe® 7.3.1....

TechTip: Modeling Plate-and-Shell Heat Exchangers using Xphe
July 29, 2020
This webinar briefly reviews HTRI research on plate-and-frame heat exchangers and plate-and-shell heat exchangers (PSHEs), focusing on the geometry differences and similarities between the two types. Xphe® is a module in Xchanger Suite® for modeling plate-and-frame heat exchangers. Using an example case, we will discuss how to use Xphe to model a PSHE. Additionally, we identify the key...
