Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful research tool that can be used for thermal/fluid systems analysis, design, and optimization.
Utilizing the CFD software packages in complicated systems, such as heat exchangers, can save time and money for many mechanical
engineers who do research on benchmark and performance analysis of these systems. This seminar in two parts, I and II, reviews some of the
new studies in this area from both academic and industry points of view.
1. CFD Modeling of a Microchannel Heat Exchanger
Joseph Dix, Student Member, Washington State University, Vancouver, WA
2. CFD Flow Simulation of an Automotive Size Evaporator
Steve O’Halloran, Ph.D., Member, University of Portland, Portland, OR
3. Improving Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers using CFD
Kevin J. Farrell, Ph.D., P.E., Member, HTRI, College Station, TX
