Development and validation of Nusselt number and friction factor correlations for laminar flow in semi-circular zigzag channel of printed circuit heat exchanger

Friction factor and heat transfer correlations have been developed for printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs) as a function of geometric parameters. These correlations summarize the thermal hydraulic performance of PCHEs and allow for accurate determination of their cost and effectiveness. Although...
