Investigation of the pressure drop inside a rectangular channel with a built-in U-shaped tube bundle heat exchanger

A simplified approach which utilizes an isotropic porous medium model has been widely adopted for modeling the flow through a compact heat exchanger. With respect to situations where the compact heat exchangers are partially installed inside a channel, such as the application of recuperators in an i...
