Thermo-fluid dynamic design optimization of a concentric tube heat exchanger
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2019 This study proposes a shape optimization approach for the cross-sectional shape of the inner pipe of a counterflow concentric tube heat exchanger. The cross-sectional shape of the inner pipe is expressed by an algebraic expression with a small number of ...
