A Numerical Study of Small-Scale Longitudinal Heat Conduction in Plate Heat Exchangers
Longitudinal heat conduction has a significant effect on the heat transfer performance of plate heat exchangers, but longitudinal heat conduction is usually neglected in numerical studies and the thermal design of a heat exchanger. In this paper, heat transfer models with and without longitudinal he...
