Abstract Heat exchangers as a heat transfer device has gained wide applications across different levels of domestic and industrial set-ups. Various studies have
been carried out to study, analyse and predict its performance. However, one major phenomenon that limits heat exchanger performance is attributed
to fouling. Based on this, various studies and approaches have focused on reduction, elimination and mitigation of fouling. This study therefore
focused on this. It reviewed several attempts that have been carried out to understand and mitigate the incidents of fouling in heat exchangers. The
study found that despite the existing models More >
