Heat Transfer Modeling for a Plate Heat Exchanger used in Solar Power Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper tackles the non-steady state heat transfer modeling in a plate heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is designed to perform the internal heat recovering in a solar assisted Joule Brayton engine. The modeling followed two cases, the first case considers an open hybrid solar engine and, the second case evaluates a closed one, using different working agents.
