Abstract The variations of flow and heat transfer in the square channel heat exchanger inserted with various parameters of V-orifice are investigated
numerically. The influences of flow directions (V-Downstream and V-Upstream), gap spacing ratios (g/H or GR = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and
0.30) and blockage ratios (b/H or BR = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.30) on flow topology and heat transfer behavior are reported. The laminar flow
regime with the Reynolds number in the range 100 – 2000 is considered. The numerical results are presented in terms of flow and heat transfer More >
