Developing of constructal theory concept for plate-fin heat exchanger modelling, design and optimisation

In this paper, the modelling, design and optimisation of plate-fin heat exchangers has been carried out by applying the concept of constructal theory. Current heat exchangers design method call for use of one scale flow structure but constructal plate-fin heat exchanger is designed by multiple length scales with more than one construct. The objective function is to investigate the geometries that give best heat recovery or higher cold stream...
