A New Approach to aim Maximum Heat Recovery in Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger with Constant Heat Transfer Characteristics

Abstract

The purpos of this paper is to aim the maximum heat transfer rate in a plate-fin heat exchanger with a constant volume and a contant surface area at a prescribed pressure drop. This paper propose a method for design a plat-fin heat exchanger in which a maximum pressure drop occurs at a constant volume and surface are. In this paper as a case study, a preheater of a gas turbine which is a plate-fin type is used and prposed method is implemented.
