A plate fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger design that uses plates and finned chambers to transfer heat between liquids. It is often classified as a compact heat exchanger to emphasize the relatively high ratio between the heat transfer surface and the volume. The main objective of the present work is to investigation of optimum design...

This work shows the results and evaluation of a solar cooker box-type by using CFD. The values indicate where the highest temperature values happen inside the solar cooker. Also, values for density and airspeed were obtained. These results show where and how density and airspeed have the most important values during the water heating process. The e...

Statistical and analytical research were carried out in order to optimize geometrical variables for organic convective heat flow from the Transformers tank, and several fin designs for transformers assembly were presented for geometrical optimization. The original rectangle, wavy, trapezoidal, as well as triangular fin geometries were used in the c...

This study shows the performance of heat sinks (HS) with different designs under forced convection, varying geometric and boundary parameters, via computational fluid dynamics simulations. Initially, a complete and detailed analysis of the thermal performance of various conventional HS designs was taken. Afterwards, HS designs were modified followi...
