In this study, the thermal and hydrodynamic performance analyses of sa elected gasketed-plate heat exchanger with different number of plates are performed experimentally. A gasketed-plate heat exchanger (GPHE) test set-up is designed and constructed to perform experimental measurements for thermal and hydrodynamic performance analyses of plate heat exchangers. The experiments are performed for an industrial chevron-type plate heat exchanger under different flow conditions for a wide range of Reynolds numbers between 450 and 5250. The temperatures at the inlet and outlet ports, the volumetric flow rates of the hot and cold fluids, and the pressure drops between the inlet and outlet ports are measured during the experiments. By using the experimental data, Nusselt number correlation for heat transfer analysis and a friction factor correlation for pressure drop calculations are developed for the chevron-type plate heat exchanger tested as a function of Reynolds number and Prandtl number. The results obtained from these new correlations are compared with several existing correlations in the literature, which were developed for different plates. Although the trends of the new correlations are similar with the ones in the literature, this study shows that every plate design needs its specific correlations for heat transfer and pressure drop calculations, since the specific correlations developed for the specific plates tested are different than the ones given in literature. Obtaining these kinds of correlations for local products is especially important for the related industry to improve with the help of local test set-ups.

Experimental Comparison of Performances of Three Different Plates for Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers
Sert, İsmail Ozan; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Kakaç, Sadık (2012-06-01)
In this study, an experimental set-up for testing chevron type gasketed plate heat exchangers is utilized to investigate the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of different plate geometries. The experiments can be performed using various number of plates and wide range of plate sizes. The experiments are carried out for different temperatures, flow rates, and number of plates so that the Reynolds numbers (300-5250) and Prandtl numbers varies for all plates that have 30 degrees of chevron angle. Correlati...
Development of A Computer Program for The Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer in A Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger
Sert, İsmail Ozan; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Kakaç, Sadık (null; 2010-07-14)
In this study, a computer program is developed to calculate characteristics of a Chevron type gasketed plate heat exchanger (CTGPHEX) such as: the number of plates, the effective surface area and total pressure drops. The main reason to prefer the use of CTGPHEXs to other various types of heat exchangers is that the heat transfer efficiency is much higher in comparison. Working conditions such as the flow rates and inlet and outlet temperature of both flow sides and plate design parameters are used as an in...
EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY ON HEAT TRANSFER PERFORMANCE OF SQUARE, CYLINDRICAL AND PLATE HEAT SINKS IN EXTERNAL TRANSITION FLOW REGIME
İnci, Aykut Barış; Bayer, Özgür (2019-01-01)
Geometrical optimization of heat sinks with square, cylindrical and plate fins for heat transfer increase is numerically analyzed in transition regime external flow. The relations between the thermal characteristics of fins and boundary conditions such as free-stream velocity are investigated. Experimental studies are performed by using manufacturable fins to validate the numerical model. Heat transfer correlations are derived in order to determine average heat transfer coefficients over a certain range of ...
Numerical Simulation of Reciprocating Flow Forced Convection in Two-Dimensional Channels
Sert, Cüneyt (ASME International, 2003-5-20)
<jats:p>Numerical simulations of laminar, forced convection heat transfer for reciprocating, two-dimensional channel flows are performed as a function of the penetration length, Womersley (α) and Prandtl (Pr) numbers. The numerical algorithm is based on a spectral element formulation, which enables high-order spatial resolution with exponential decay of discretization errors, and second-order time-accuracy. Uniform heat flux and constant temperature boundary conditions are imposed on certain regions of the ...
Anharmonic line shift and linewidth of the Raman modes in TlInS2 layered crystals
Yuksek, NS; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Aydinli, A (Wiley, 2004-01-01)
The temperature dependence of the unpolarized Raman spectra from TlInS2 layered crystal was measured between 10 and 300 K. The analysis of the experimental data showed that the temperature dependences of wavenumbers and linewidths are well described by considering the contributions from thermal expansion and lattice anharmonicity. The purely anharmonic contribution (phonon-phonon coupling) was found to be due to three-phonon processes. This work demonstrates that the two Raman modes at 280.9 and 292.3 cm(-1...
