Hydrodynamics and Heat Transfer through Corrugated Channels A Review



The continually rising energy consumption pushes researchers and engineers to create more effective energy systems to better use energy sources. In order to manufacture more compact heat exchangers, which are used in air conditioning systems, chemical reactors, heat power plants and others, it is important to improve the heat transfer rate with an appropriate pressure drop. Currently many engineering strategies are applied to increase energy systems thermal transfer efficiency, such as surface changes, swirl flow creators, flow conditioners, additives etc. Researchers are also involved in applying these methods to further increase the reliability of energy systems, while many experimental and numerical details are available in the existing literature. Since the corrugated channel is a passive technique to maximise heat transfer, researchers have insisted that one or more passive active methods be used in corrugated channels to allow further changes. The purpose of this paper is to collect accessible research data based on the flow characteristics and the heat transfer rates across corrugated channels in particular. The previously obtained conception conditions, functional limits, and assumptions of energy systems are also discussed.
