Abstract |
A ceramic monolith heat exchanger is studied to find the performance of heat transfer and pressure drop by numerical computation and -NTU method. The numerical computation was performed throughout the domain including fluid region in exhaust gas-side rectangular ducts, ceramic core and fluid region in air-side rectangular duct with the air and exhaust in cross flow direction. In addition, the heat exchanger was also analyzed to estimate the performance by conventional -NTU method with several Nusselt number correlations for flow in rectangular duct from literature. By comparisons of both performances by the numerical computation and the -NTU method, the effectiveness by -NTU method was closest to the result by numerical computation within a relative error of 2.14% when Stephan’s Nusselt number correlation was adopted to the -NTU method among the several correlations. |
