Optimization of Plate Heat Exchanger by Using Response Surface Method

Abstract:

This study deals the purpose of optimal values of the design constraints in a Plate Heat Exchanger by using Response Surface Method (RSM). The special effects of design constraints such as Reynolds number, flow velocity and pressure drop are examined. In the Reference Surface Method experimental design method, Nusselt number and friction factor are considered as performance parameters. The analysis of Reference Surface Method conducted with an optimization process to reach minimum pressure drop (friction factor) and maximum heat transfer (Nusselt number) for the designed Plate heat exchanger. Experimental results authorized the correctness of the planned method. Design expert 7.0 has been used for optimization process. Optimal values are selected from highest desirability value which is 0.80161 and design constrains has been optimized as 1600(Reynolds number), 0.04 m²(Core area), 1.24 m (Core length).
