The present paper deals with a review of the nonuniformities present in compact heat
exchangers in terms of temperature and flow and their effect on the performance of different …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the flow maldistribution
caused by the pressure drop in headers and its impact on the performance of a …

Mini-and microchannel heat exchangers have the potential to drastically decrease the size
and cost of thermal systems, but they often underperform because of flow maldistribution …

The effect of non-uniform flow on thermal performance of heat exchanger was analyzed in
this paper. The quantitative relationships between velocity deviation factor and heat transfer …

For the complex mechanical turbulence by micro-louvered fins coupled with the problems of
thermal interaction between air side and refrigerant side, the airflow distribution in such a …

This paper presents the effect of heat exchanger design on heat pump performance based
on partial load operating conditions. 3-D numerical analysis was conducted to calculate face …

The effects of airflow nonuniformity on the thermal–hydraulic performance of a fin-and-tube
heat exchanger were investigated experimentally. The test subject was a four-depth-row fin …

The automotive domain is a very good candidate for energy management, particularly due to
the huge amounts of energy lost by heat through exhaust and water-cooling systems. This …

The maldistribution of the refrigerant mass flowrate among the different channels of a brazed
plate heat exchanger evaporator with distributor, has been studied with a thermographic …

This study demonstrates the performance improvement of an air-to-air 7.5 Ton (26.4 kW)
rooftop unit (RTU) achieved by optimizing an evaporator's refrigerant circuitry using …
