Why is it important?
Every technological process developed since the beginning of humanity to the present day always involves some kind of energy use, either mechanical energy of the body or energy from burning fuel or the solar energy obtained from the sun. To manipulate and use that energy, the man always developed resources and equipment to allow it. Among the wide range of equipment, heat exchangers, designed to transfer heat from one fluid to another, will be analyzed in this work.
Perspectives
In this paper are used CFD techniques and optimization routines to simulate the flow and the heat transfer process in a compact heat exchanger with louvered fins aiming to enhance their efficiency. For this, there are performed simulations considering the correlations developed by [2] and using their experimental data for validation.
