CFD Analysis of Ribbed Double Pipe Heat Exchanger

This study aims at simulating the flow in a ribbed double pipe heat exchanger both numerically and analytically and to analyze the accompanying thermo fluid mechanisms. Two procedures were developed to model the heat transfer and the pressure drop, analytical and numerical. The analytical proced...
