Effect of Chevron Angle on Thermal Efficiency in Plate Heat Exchanger
Abstract—The plate heat exchangers are commonly used for process heating and cooling applications in chemical, food processing and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, the first law (energy) analysis was performed theoretically and the heat efficiencies were compared under similar operating parameters of the counterflow plate heat exchangers with 30o, 45o and 60o chevron angles using water-water pairs
