Abstract

The optimum shape of header part in a PFHE (parallel-flow heat exchanger) is studied. The optimal values of each geometric parameter are proposed according to their order of influence with varying the four important parameters (the injection angle of working fluid ($\Theta$), the shape of inlet(S), the location of inlet ($y_c/D_{in}$) and the height of the protruding flat tube ( $y_{b/}$ $D_{in}$ )). The optimal geometric parameters are as follows:$\Theta= -21^{\circ}C,\; S=Type\; A \;an\;y_b/D_{in}$/=0. The heat transfer rate of the optimum model, compared to that of the reference model, is increased by about 55%. The optimal geometric parameters ran be applicable to the Reynolds number ranging from 5,000 to 20,000.0.
