Simulations, Analysis and Thermoeconomical Synthesis of Heat Transfer Elements

Problems of analysis and design of intricate heat transfer elements are traditional for various industrial and experimental heat transfer units, including multichannel heat exchangers and multi-component fins. Authors suggest and introduce unified method of analysis and synthesis for these classes of heat transfer objects.

Authors’ method of simulations for such class of objects is based on step-by-step integration of local tangential and longitudinal heat flows with sequential computations of temperature fields in cycles of iterations and specific selection of boundary conditions. Variations of selected key factors provide arrays of design parameters for synthesis of new and optimized heat transfer objects.
