Thermal Performance Modeling of Cross-Flow Heat Exchangers

Abstract

In the previous sections fundamentals of the HETE code were introduced. The objective of this section is to demonstrate the capabilities of the code through several nonstandard applications which will allow the reader to assess its potential. These applications will be introduced as an overview of several journal papers published by the authors namely Navarro and Cabezas-Gómez (2005), Cabezas-Gómez et al. (2007), Cabezas-Gómez et al. (2009), and Cabezas-Gómez et al. (2012).
