Description

Reverse Cross Flow Plate Heat Exchanger, ANSYS Fluent CFD Simulation Training

The problem simulates Reverse Cross Flow Plate Heat Exchanger using ANSYS Fluent software. We perform this CFD project and investigate it by CFD analysis.

This heat exchanger consists of two special flow channels such that the air flows from one side of the central panel and the solute flow to the other but in the opposite direction to the airflow. The fluids used in the present model include air, Ethylene Glycol, or (CH2OH).

On the other hand, a separator plate is used as an interface. The liquid has a higher temperature than the airflow. The present study investigates the fluid behavior and heat transfer in the heat exchanger and evaluates its performance based on the Number of Transfer Units (NTUs).

The 3-D geometry of the present model is designed by Design Modeler software. The current model is a heat exchanger panel with two flow paths, such that, on the one hand, the hot liquid flow and, on the other hand, cold airflow in the opposite direction to the liquid flow. The outer walls also act as insulators.

The meshing of the present model is performed by ANSYS Meshing software. The mesh is unstructured, and the element number is 155,000. The cells are smaller and more accurate near the wall boundary.

Plate Heat Exchanger Methodology

In this project, Ethylene Glycon is one of two operating fluids. Ethylene Glycol is a colorless, odorless, low-volatility, low-viscosity material whose properties are defined as temperature-dependent polynomials.

Since the hot and cold flows do not integrate within the heat exchanger, there is no need to use a Multiphase flow module.

Plate Heat Exchanger  Conclusion

Velocity, temperature, and contours don’t need any extra explanation since they are so clear to understand. The results show the temperature changes well. Heat is transferred from the hot part to the cold part.

The training video obtains the heat transfer rate, and the Nusselt number is obtained.

    Can you explain the advantage of using the RNG k-epsilon turbulence model in this simulation?

    • Avatar Of Mr Cfd Support

      MR CFD Support

      The RNG k-epsilon model is chosen because it can accurately predict the onset and amount of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation, which is crucial in heat exchanger simulations.

    What are the main factors affecting the performance of a reverse cross flow plate heat exchanger?

    • Avatar Of Mr Cfd Support

      MR CFD Support

      The main factors include the design of the heat exchanger (e.g., plate geometry and arrangement), the properties of the fluids (e.g., flow rates, temperatures, and thermal properties), and the operating conditions.

    I’m really impressed by the level of detail in the simulation of the Reverse Cross Flow Plate Heat Exchanger. The contour results must look fascinating. Am I able to visualize the temperature distribution across the separator plate between the hot and cold fluids?

    • Avatar Of Mr Cfd Support

      MR CFD Support

      Thank you for your kind words! Yes, the temperature distribution across the separator plate is one of the key results that can be visualized in the simulation. It showcases the effectiveness of the heat exchanger by displaying how the heat is transferred from the hot to the cold fluid, maintaining a necessary barrier so that there’s no mixing of the different streams.

    What makes the Reverse Cross Flow Plate Heat Exchanger efficient in terms of design and flow arrangement, and how does the layout influence its performance relative to other types of heat exchangers?

    • Avatar Of Mr Cfd Support

      MR CFD Support

      The Reverse Cross Flow Plate Heat Exchanger is designed to provide high heat transfer efficiency due to the thin plates that create a large surface area over which the fluid flows. The reverse cross-flow arrangement allows for close temperature approach between the fluids since one is flowing in the opposite direction to the other across the plate, maximizing the temperature gradient and heat transfer rate. This counterflow configuration can achieve higher thermal efficiency compared to parallel flow heat exchangers.

    This module sounds fantastic! Particularly impressed by the temperature-dependent polynomial properties for Ethylene Glycol. Could you share some results on the effectiveness of the heat exchanger and how the NTUs were derived?

    • Avatar Of Mr Cfd Support

      MR CFD Support

      Thank you for your positive feedback! The effectiveness of the heat exchanger is evaluated based on its performance and the Number of Transfer Units (NTUs). The results, presented in the study, show temperature changes indicating successful heat transfer from the hot liquid to the cold air side. NTUs are typically calculated by comparing the heat transfer rate to the maximum possible heat transfer rate, though specific results or methods per this simulation were not detailed. If you wish to learn the detailed derivation for NTUs, you may find this information in the training materials or outcomes of the CFD analysis supported by the product.
