Heat exchangers are used widely in industrial application such as chemical,
food processing, power production, refrigeration and air-conditioning
industries. Helical coiled heat exchangers are used in order to obtain a large
heat transfer per unit volume and to enhance the heat transfer rate on the inside
surface. In the present study, CFD simulations are carried out for a counter
flow tube in tube helical heat exchanger where hot water flows through the
inner tube and cold water flows through the outer tube. From the simulation
results heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop and nusselt number are
calculated. The heat transfer characteristics of the same are compared with that
of a counter flow tube in tube straight tube heat exchanger of same length
under same temperature and flow conditions. CFD simulation results showed

Experimental Investigation of a Helical Coil Heat Exchangerinventy
The document summarizes an experimental study comparing the performance of a helical coil heat exchanger to a straight tube heat exchanger. Researchers designed, fabricated, and tested both types of heat exchangers. Results showed that the helical coil design had higher heat transfer rates, effectiveness, and overall heat transfer coefficients than the straight tube design across all flow rates and operating conditions. This is because the coiled tube shape induces secondary fluid flows that enhance mixing and heat transfer compared to the straight tube. The study concludes that helical coil heat exchangers have better performance than straight tube designs for industrial heat exchange applications.

This document presents a numerical analysis of heat transfer enhancement in pipe-in-pipe helical coiled heat exchangers. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to analyze the effect of varying parameters like inner tube diameter, mass flow rates, and flow configuration (parallel vs. counter flow). The results show that overall heat transfer coefficients increase with increasing inner Dean number and mass flow rates. Heat transfer rates also increase with higher inner mass flow rates. Counter flow configuration provides better heat transfer than parallel flow. Increasing the inner tube size decreases the total heat transfer rate due to a reduction in annulus cross-sectional area. Measured inner Nusselt numbers agree reasonably well with existing correlations.

Experiments were conducted with two different inner coil diameters (6mm and 8mm) under varying mass flow rates in the inner coil and annulus. The overall heat transfer coefficient and inner Nusselt number were found to increase with increasing mass flow rates. Counter-flow configuration resulted in higher heat transfer rates than parallel flow due to the larger log mean temperature difference, though overall heat transfer coefficients were similar between the two flow arrangements. Experimental results for inner Nusselt number agreed with established correlations in parallel flow but were higher in counter-flow.

Analysis of Coiled-Tube Heat Exchangers to Improve Heat Transfer Rate With Sp...IJMER
Steady heat transfer enhancement has been studied in helically coiled-tube heat exchangers. The outer side of the wall of the heat exchanger contains a helical corrugation which makes a helical rib on the inner side of the tube wall to induce additional swirling motion of fluid particles. Numerical calculations have been carried out to examine different geometrical parameters and the impact of flow and thermal boundary conditions for the heat transfer rate in laminar and transitional flow regimes. Calculated results have been compared to existing empirical formula and experimental tests to investigate the validity of the numerical results in case of common helical tube heat exchanger and additionally results of the numerical computation of corrugated straight tubes for laminar and transition flow have been validated with experimental tests available in the literature. Comparison of the flow and temperature fields in case of common helical tube and the coil with spirally corrugated wall configuration are discussed. Heat exchanger coils with helically corrugated wall configuration show 80–100% increase for the inner side heat transfer rate due to the additionally developed swirling motion while the relative pressure drop is 10–600% larger compared to the common helically coiled heat exchangers. New empirical Co-relation has been proposed for the fully developed inner side heat transfer prediction in case of helically corrugated wall configuration.

This document presents a numerical model and simulation of a double tube heat exchanger using a "black box" approach. It first uses commercial CFD software to simulate the heat exchanger and generate outlet temperature results. It then develops a linear model to predict the outlet temperatures based on governing equations, considering the heat exchanger a black box. The linear model assumes steady state, constant properties, and approximates the logarithmic mean temperature difference with an arithmetic mean. Results from both methods are generated and compared to experimental data to validate the linear approximation. Comparisons show the linear model agrees well with experiments, justifying its use to analyze double tube heat exchangers.

Review on Comparative Study between Helical Coil and Straight Tube Heat Excha...IOSR Journals
The purpose of this study is to determine the relative advantage of using a helically coiled heat
exchanger against a straight tube heat exchanger. It is found that the heat transfer in helical circular tubes is
higher as compared to Straight tube due to their shape. Helical coils offer advantageous over straight tubes due
to their compactness and increased heat transfer coefficient. The increased heat transfer coefficients are a
consequence of the curvature of the coil, which induces centrifugal forces to act on the moving fluid, resulting in
the development of secondary flow. The curvature of the coil governs the centrifugal force while the pitch (or
helix angle) influences the torsion to which the fluid is subjected to. The centrifugal force results in the
development of secondary flow. Due to the curvature effect, the fluid streams in the outer side of the pipe moves
faster than the fluid streams in the inner side of the pipe. The difference in velocity sets-in secondary flows,
whose pattern changes with the Dean number of the flow.
In current work the fluid to fluid heat exchange is taken into consideration, Most of the investigations on heat transfer coefficients are for constant wall temperature or constant heat flux. The effectiveness, overall
heat transfer coefficient, effect of coldwater flow rate on effectiveness of heat exchanger when hot water mass
flow rate is kept constant and effect of hot water flow rate on effectiveness when cold water flow rate kept
constant studied and compared for parallel flow, counter flow arrangement of Helical coil and Straight tube
heat exchangers. The inner heat transfer coefficient calculated from Wilson plot method. Then Nusselt no and
correlation obtained on the basis of inner heat transfer coefficient. All readings were taken at steady state
condition of heat exchanger.
The result shows that the heat transfer coefficient is affected by the geometry of the heat exchanger.
Helical coil heat exchanger are superior in all aspect studied here.

The 50° corrugation angle achieved the highest heat transfer rates, representing a 40% increase over the 30° angle. Using oil as the fluid resulted in slightly higher heat transfer compared to previous studies using water. The experimental results agreed with previous CFD analyses showing improved performance of corrugated plates over flat plates.

It then develops a linear model to predict the outlet temperatures based on governing equations, considering the heat exchanger a black box. The linear model assumes steady state, constant properties, and approximates the logarithmic mean temperature difference with an arithmetic mean. Results from both methods are generated and compared to experimental data to validate the linear approximation. Comparisons show the linear model agrees well with experiments, justifying its use to analyze double tube heat exchangers.
IRJET- Parametric Investigation to Evaluate the Effect of Baffle Configuratio...IRJET Journal
This study evaluated the effect of baffle configuration on heat transfer rate in a shell and tube heat exchanger using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Simulations were conducted for baffle spacings of 66mm, 76mm, and 86mm at mass flow rates of 0.5 kg/s, 1 kg/s, and 2 kg/s. The 86mm spacing had the highest heat transfer rate and outlet temperature, indicating better performance compared to the closer spacings. Maximum heat transfer rate was 219.47kW for the 86mm spacing at 2kg/s, a 52.2% increase over the 66mm spacing. Closer baffle spacing allowed for more uniform flow distribution but restricted flow compared to wider spac

Review on Comparative Study between Helical Coil and Straight Tube Heat Excha...IOSR Journals
The purpose of this study is to determine the relative advantage of using a helically coiled heat
exchanger against a straight tube heat exchanger. It is found that the heat transfer in helical circular tubes is
higher as compared to Straight tube due to their shape. Helical coils offer advantageous over straight tubes due
to their compactness and increased heat transfer coefficient. The increased heat transfer coefficients are a
consequence of the curvature of the coil, which induces centrifugal forces to act on the moving fluid, resulting in
the development of secondary flow. The curvature of the coil governs the centrifugal force while the pitch (or
helix angle) influences the torsion to which the fluid is subjected to. The centrifugal force results in the
development of secondary flow. Due to the curvature effect, the fluid streams in the outer side of the pipe moves
faster than the fluid streams in the inner side of the pipe. The difference in velocity sets-in secondary flows,
whose pattern changes with the Dean number of the flow.
In current work the fluid to fluid heat exchange is taken into consideration, Most of the investigations on heat transfer coefficients are for constant wall temperature or constant heat flux. The effectiveness, overall
heat transfer coefficient, effect of coldwater flow rate on effectiveness of heat exchanger when hot water mass
flow rate is kept constant and effect of hot water flow rate on effectiveness when cold water flow rate kept
constant studied and compared for parallel flow, counter flow arrangement of Helical coil and Straight tube
heat exchangers. The inner heat transfer coefficient calculated from Wilson plot method. Then Nusselt no and
correlation obtained on the basis of inner heat transfer coefficient. All readings were taken at steady state
condition of heat exchanger.
The result shows that the heat transfer coefficient is affected by the geometry of the heat exchanger.
Helical coil heat exchanger are superior in all aspect studied here.

IRJET- Heat Transfer Studies of Corrugated Plate Heat Exchanger using OilIRJET Journal
This document presents a study on heat transfer in corrugated plate heat exchangers using oil as the heat transfer fluid. Three corrugated plate heat exchangers with angles of 30°, 40°, and 50° were experimentally tested and compared to a flat plate heat exchanger. The heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number increased with increasing Reynolds number and corrugation angle. The 50° corrugation angle achieved the highest heat transfer rates, representing a 40% increase over the 30° angle. Using oil as the fluid resulted in slightly higher heat transfer compared to previous studies using water. The experimental results agreed with previous CFD analyses showing improved performance of corrugated plates over flat plates.

Heat Transfer Enhancement Using Aluminium Oxide Nanofluid: Effect of the Base...CSCJournals
The flow and heat transfer is an important phenomenon in engineering systems due to its wide application in electronic cooling, heat exchangers, double pane windows etc.. The enhancement of heat transfer in these systems is an essential topic from an energy saving perspective. The lower heat transfer performance when conventional fluids, such as water, engine oil and ethylene glycol are used hinders improvements in performance and a consequent reduction in the size of such systems. The use of solid particles as an additive suspended into the base fluid is a technique for heat transfer enhancement. Therefore, the heat transfer enhancement in a horizontal circular tube that is maintained at a constant temperature under laminar regime has been investigated numerically. A computational code applied to the problem by use of the finite volume method was developed. Nanofluid was made by dispersion of Al2O3 nanoparticles in pur water and ethylene glycol. Results illustrate that the suspended nanoparticles increase the heat transfer with an increase in the nanoparticles volume fraction and for a considered range of Reynolds numbers. And in other hand, the heat transfer is very sensitive to the base fluid.

Analysis of Natural Convention Heat Transfer Enhancement in Finned Tube Heat ...journal ijrtem
ABSTRACT: Most of the engineering problems require high performance heat transfer components with progressively less weight, volumes, accommodating shapes and costs. Air cooled heat exchangers are subjected to air on outer side of heat exchanger surface on in heat recovery systems like economizers gases are subjected on one side of tube surface. On air or gas side heat transfer coefficient is less. Extended surface (fins) are one of the next exchanging devices that are employed extensively to increase heat transfer rates from tubular heat exchangers. The rate of heat transfer depends on the surface area of fin available for exchanging the heat transfer rate from the primary surface of cylindrical shape. Present study focuses on enhancement of heat transfer by using both circular and elliptical type of fins. The present paper attempts to examine trend of heat transfer coefficient experimentally and by using CFD software for various types of elliptical fins with i) varying elliptical ratio, ii) changing orientation of mounting of heat exchanger tube with elliptical fins, iii) varying spacing or fin density. KEY WORDS: Natural convection, Heat transfer enhancements, Elliptical fin, Fin orientation, Fin density.

This document reviews research on enhancing heat transfer through pipes using various types of turbulators. It begins with an abstract discussing using active or passive techniques to increase heat transfer rates in heat exchangers. The paper then discusses using modified baffled twisted tape inserts to change heat transfer rates. It provides equations for heat transfer and reviews several studies that experimentally analyzed heat transfer and pressure drop when using twisted tapes, baffled twisted tapes, and other turbulator inserts in pipes. The studies found that inserts can increase heat transfer by inducing swirl and disrupting boundary layers, but also increase pressure drop. The level of increased heat transfer and pressure drop depended on turbulator design and fluid properties like Reynolds number.

The purpose of this study is to determine the relative advantage of using a helically coiled heat exchanger against a straight tube heat exchanger. It is found that the heat transfer in helical circular tubes is higher as compared to Straight tube due to their shape. Helical coils offer advantageous over straight tubes due to their compactness and increased heat transfer coefficient. The increased heat transfer coefficients are a consequence of the curvature of the coil, which induces centrifugal forces to act on the moving fluid, resulting in the development of secondary flow. The curvature of the coil governs the centrifugal force while the pitch (or helix angle) influences the torsion to which the fluid is subjected to the centrifugal force results in the development of secondary flow. Due to the curvature effect, the fluid streams in the outer side of the pipe moves faster than the fluid streams in the inner side of the pipe. In current work the fluid to fluid heat exchange is taken into consideration. Most of the investigations on heat transfer coefficients are for constant wall temperature or constant heat flux. The effectiveness, overall heat transfer coefficient, effect of cold water flow rate on effectiveness of heat exchanger when hot water mass flow rate is kept constant and effect of hot water flow rate on effectiveness when cold water flow rate kept constant studied and compared for parallel flow, counter flow arrangement of Helical coil and Straight tube heat exchangers. All readings were taken at steady state condition of heat exchanger. The result shows that the heat transfer coefficient is affected by the geometry of the heat exchanger. Helical coil heat exchanger are superior in all aspect studied here.

As the number of transistors increases with new generation of microprocessor chips, the power draw and heat load to dissipate during operation increases. As a result of increasing the heat loads and heat fluxes the Conventional cooling technologies such as fan, heat sinks are unable to absorb and heat transfer excess heat dissipated by these new microprocessor. So, new technologies are needed to improve the heat removal capacity. In the present work single phase liquid cooling system with mini channel is analyzed and experimentally investigated. Mini channels are chosen as to provide higher heat transfer co-efficient than conventional channel. Copper pipes of 0.36 mm diameter are taken to fabricate heat sink and heat exchanger. A pump is used to circulate the fluid through heat sink and heat exchanger. A solid heated aluminium block to simulate heat generated electronic component is used and electrical input is supplied to the heated aluminium block and cooling system is placed over the heated block. The performance of the cooling system is analyzed from the experimental data obtained. It is experimentally observed that the mini channel liquid cooling system with water as a coolant has better performance than diluted ethylene glycol as coolant at different flow rates. The surface temperature of the heated aluminium block with convective heat transfer co-efficient is observed

This document analyzes a double spiral counter flow calorimeter (DSCFC) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The DSCFC consists of two concentric spiral channels for fluid flow over a heated base plate, allowing for heat transfer between the solid and fluid. CFD simulations are performed using ANSYS-CFX to analyze heat transfer characteristics at varying Reynolds numbers and base temperatures. The results show heat transfer decreases with increasing Reynolds number but increases with higher base temperature. Pressure and temperature profiles within the DSCFC are also presented. In conclusion, the CFD analysis finds uniform pressure drop along the spiral channels except at the mid-length, with pressure and outlet temperature decreasing at higher Reynolds numbers.

This document provides a review of research on using a wavy inner tube in a concentric tube heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer. Several studies have found that a wavy inner tube can increase the Nusselt number, friction factor, and thermal performance factor compared to a plain inner tube. Computational fluid dynamics simulations have also validated that wavy fins and tubes promote longitudinal vortices that augment heat transfer, while transverse vortices have a negative effect. Overall, experiments and models show that a wavy inner tube can enhance heat transfer in a concentric tube heat exchanger by over 100% in some cases.
This document presents a numerical analysis of heat transfer enhancement in pipe-in-pipe helical coiled heat exchangers. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to determine the effect of varying parameters like inner tube diameter, mass flow rates, and flow configuration (parallel vs. counter flow) on heat transfer characteristics. The CFD results showed that decreasing the inner tube diameter and increasing the mass flow rates led to higher overall heat transfer coefficients. Counter flow configuration provided better heat transfer than parallel flow. Validation of the CFD model showed decent agreement with existing empirical correlations for heat transfer in helical coils.

I. INTRODUCTION
Enhancing heat transfer efficiency and decreasing size are attractive investigations. Regarding to these
fields, Dixit and Ghosh [1] studied the effect of heat in-leak for two stream cross flow minichannel heat
exchangers with unmixed fluids. The analytical results have been used for predicting the outlet fluid
temperatures. With experimental data, one of the end plates in a crossflow-type multistream, minichannel heat
exchanger has been subjected to deliberate external heat input given electrically. Experimental result obtained is
employed to validate the fluid exit temperatures predicted by the developed model under the same conditions of
external heat ingress. The variation in the exit fluid temperatures has been recorded as a function of this external
heat in-leak entering the exchanger through one of its outer surfaces. Ray et al. [2] investigated nanofluids
performance in a compact minichannel plate heat exchanger. Three nanofluids (comprising of aluminum oxide,
copper oxide and silicon dioxide nanoparticles in ethylene glycol and water mixture) have been studied
theoretically to compare their performance in a compact minichannel plate heat exchanger. Comparisons have
been made on the basis of three important parameters; equal mass flow rate, equal heat transfer rate and equal
pumping power. The results show that for a dilute particle volumetric concentration of 1%, all the nanofluids
show improvements in their performance over the base fluid. From experiments on a 0.5% aluminum oxide
nanofluid, preliminary correlations for the Nusselt number and the friction factor for nanofluid flow in a plate
heat exchanger has been derived. This apparatus will be useful to test different kinds of nanofluids. Effect of
inlet configuration on the refrigerant distribution in a parallel flow minichannel heat exchanger was studied by
Kim et al. [3]. The refrigerant R-134a flow distribution was experimentally investigated for a round header/ten
flat tube test section simulating a brazed aluminum heat exchanger. Three different inlet configurations (parallel,
normal, vertical) were studied. It is shown that normal and vertical inlet yielded similar flow distribution. The
flow distribution was the worst for the parallel inlet configuration. Dixit and Ghosh [4] reviewed micro- and
mini-channel heat sinks and heat exchangers for single phase fluids. Miniature heat exchangers have the
potential to provide energy efficient systems. In addition, their characteristics of compactness, small size and
lesser weight have attracted widespread applications. Literatures related co-current, counter-current and cross-
current micro- and mini-channel heat exchangers have been discussed. Sohel et al. [5] studied heat transfer
enhancement of a minichannel heat sink using Al2O3–H2O nanofluid. The thermal performances of a
minichannel heat sink are experimentally investigated for cooling of electronics using nanofluid coolant instead
of pure water. The Al2O3–H2O nanofluid including the volume fraction ranging from 0.10 to 0.25 vol.% was
used as a coolant. The experimental results showed the higher (up to 18%) improvement of the thermal
performances using nanofluid instead of pure distilled water. Peyghambarzadeh et al. [6] experimentally studied
overall heat transfer coefficient in the application of dilute nanofluids in the car radiator. Nanofluids showed
greater heat transfer performance comparing with water. Increasing liquid and air Re increases the overall heat
transfer coefficient. Increasing the inlet liquid temperature decreases the overall heat transfer coefficient. Nieh et
al. [7] employed oxide nano-coolant in air-cooled radiator for heat dissipation.
ABSTRACT:
This paper presented an investigation for heat transfer behaviors of a welded-Aluminum
minichannel heat exchanger (MNHE) using experimental method. In this study, the results show that the
welding Aluminum method for MNHE is less efficiency than the bonding PMMA method at high mass
flow rate of water. For water having the inlet temperature of 62C and mass flow rate of 4.1g/s, the heat
transfer rate of the welded- Aluminum MNHE is 118W and the heat transfer rate of the bonded-PMMA
MNHE is 132W. It is an important key to select a method for design a minichannel heat exchanger.

They produced the Al2O3 and TiO2 nano-coolant by the two-step synthesis method. The heat
dissipation capacity and the efficiency factor of the nano-coolant are higher than ethylene glycol. The results
showed that the enhanced ratio of the pressure drop and pumping power is not obvious. Dang et al. [8, 9] studied
the minichannel heat exchangers to replace for a scooter radiator using experimental method. The results of this
study show that minichannel heat exchangers have higher heat transfer rate than that obtained from scooter
radiator, but the size of minichannel heat exchangers is about 64% (with three passes) and about 55.7% (with
five passes) the size of scooter radiator. However, in [1-7], authors did not study effect of pass number of the
heat exchangers on heat transfer behaviors; in [8,9], authors did not use heat exchangers with welding
Aluminum instead of bonding PMMA (Polymethymethacrylate) on minichannels. From the relevant literatures
above, it is important to study a minichannel heat exchanger with welding Aluminum on minichannels. In the
following section, the heat transfer characteristics of the welded Aluminum minichannel heat exchanger
(MNHE) will be compared with those of the bonded PMMA MNHE in [9]. All dimensions of two heat
exchangers are the same.
II. METHODOLOGY

A welded-Aluminum MNHE was designed, based on the above equations. All dimensions of this heat
exchanger are the same with the minichannel heat exchanger in [9]. Model (including 48 channels for the water
side with the length of 110 mm) is divided into five passes. The channels have a rectangular cross-section, with
the width of 1 mm and the depth of 1 mm, the distance between two channels is 1mm. The separating walls have
the width of 2 mm. The manifolds of MNHE are rectangular in shape, with the width of 10 mm and the depth of
1 mm. Air side has 54 fins; the cross-section is rectangular, with the depth of 10 mm and the length of 140 mm.
The distance between two fins is 1 mm and the thickness of fin is 1 mm. All dimensions are shown in Fig.1.
To seal this MNHE, five Aluminum plates were welded on the five fluid passes of substrate by welding
precise technology. After welding, the heat exchanger was filed to get as a smooth plate.

onded-PMMA MNHE is the heat exchanger which mentioned in [9]. With the bonded-PMMA MNHE, a layer
of PMMA was bonded on the fluid side of substrate by UV light process
Experimental setup
The experimental system consists of the test sample (the Bonded-PMMA MNHE or the Welded-Aluminum
NHE), syringe system, and overall testing loop, as shown in Fig.3. Experiment data obtained from the two heat
exchangers are under the constant room temperature condition of 30C.

Fig.5. Water outlet temperature versus mass flow rate of water
The experimental data obtained under the ambient temperature of 30C; the air velocity was fixed at 2
m/s; the mass flow rate of water was varying from 1.64 to 4.1g/s, and the water inlet temperature was fixed at
62C. The experimental conditions in this study are the same conditions in [9].
Fig.6. Heat transfer versus mass flow rate of water
When the mass flow rate of water increases, the water outlet temperature increases, it leads to the water
temperature difference decreases. Figure 5 shows a relationship between the water outlet temperature and the
mass flow rate of water. Because that the mass flow rate term increases more strongly than the temperature
difference term, so the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger increases as rising mass flow rate of water, as
shown in Fig. 6. However, when the mass flow rate of water is over 3g/s, the heat transfer rate of the heat
exchanger slowly increases. It is explained that at low mass flow rate of water, the force of water is weak, the
welded-Aluminum plates and the separating walls of channels do not have gaps. But at high mass flow rate of
water, the force of water is strong, the welded- Aluminum plates and the separating walls of channels have gaps,
water runs for both the minichannels and gaps between the welded- Aluminum plates and the separating walls of
channels. So the fluid flow is not minichanel heat transfer state. Comparisons between the welded-Aluminum
MNHE and the bonded-PMMA MNHE are shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. All conditions for these comparisons are
the same. It is observed that as the mass flow rate is lower than 3g/s, the heat transfer rate obtained from the
welded-Aluminum MNHE is higher than that obtained from the bonded-PMMA MNHE. It means that the
welded-Aluminum MNHE was reinforced heat transfer by the welded- Aluminum plate which the thermal

conductivity of Aluminum is higher than PMMA. For the welded-Aluminum MNHE, the heat transfer rate of
111W was achieved for water having the inlet temperature of 62C and mass flow rate of 2g/s. For the bonded-
PMMA MNHE, the heat transfer rate of 103W was achieved for water having the inlet temperature of 62C and
mass flow rate of 2g/s. However, when the mass flow rate is over 3g/s, the heat transfer rate obtained from the
welded-Aluminum MNHE is lower than that obtained from the bonded-PMMA MNHE. It is due to Aluminum
is flexible, so water flows for both the minichannels and the gaps between the welded- Aluminum plates and the
separating walls of channels. With the bonded-PMMA MNHE, the thickness of PMMA is 10mm, it is strong
enough, so it has not have the gaps between the PMMA plate and the separating walls of channels. For the
welded-Aluminum MNHE, the heat transfer rate of 118W was achieved for water having the inlet temperature
of 62C and mass flow rate of 4.1g/s. For the bonded PMMA MNHE, the heat transfer rate of 132W was
achieved for water having the inlet temperature of 62C and mass flow rate of 4.1g/s.

and the bonded-PMMA MNHE for heat transfer rate
From Figs. 5-8, it is indicated that at low mass flow rate of water, the heat transfer rate of the welded-
Aluminum NHE is higher than the heat transfer rate of the bonded-PMMA MNHE. However, at high mass flow
rate of water, the heat transfer rate of the welded- Aluminum MNHE is lower than the heat transfer rate of the
bonded-PMMA MNHE. In this study, these results show that the welding Aluminum method for MNHE is less
efficiency than the bonding PMMA method; it is an important key to select a method for design a minichannel
heat exchanger.

IV. CONCLUSION
An investigation for a welded-Aluminum MNHE has done by experimental method. This heat
exchanger has also compared with the bonded-PMMA MNHE. For water having the inlet temperature of 62C
and mass flow rate of 2g/s, the heat transfer rate of the welded-Aluminum MNHE is 111W and the heat transfer
rate of the bonded-PMMA MNHE is 103W. For water having the inlet temperature of 62C and mass flow rate
of 4.1g/s, the heat transfer rate of the welded-Aluminum MNHE is 118W and the heat transfer rate of the
bonded-PMMA MNHE is 132W. In this study, the welding Aluminum method for MNHE is less efficiency than
the bonding PMMA method. It is an important key to select a method for design a minichannel heat exchanger.
