Model of the Plate Heat Exchanger

This study is focused on the designing of chevron type plate heat exchanger in the ANSYS software. Geometry has been constructed in Solidworks software with respect to catalogue values. Then 2 different mesh models have been created with different quality and different number of elements. These two models have been simulated and results were compared with experimental data. Results were nearly satisfied for pressure drop values but results for outlet temperatures and heat fluxes were different.This study is focused on the designing of chevron type plate heat exchanger in the ANSYS software.
