... combustion engines intercooler plate-fin heat exchanger 3D RANS intercooler optimization Turbochargers have been widely used to boost internal combustion engines. The charging system is normally equipped with intercoolers to efficiently improve the intake air density and therefore to downsize...

...Harpreet Kaur Aasi; Manish Mishra Cross-flow three-fluid plate-fin heat exchanger is analyzed under both steady-state and transient conditions with a nonuniform inlet temperature of all the three fluids. The influence of the longitudinal heat conduction and axial dispersion in the separating sheets...

...Yinhai Zhu; Yanzhong Li In this paper, four basic fins of the plate-fin heat exchangers, rectangular plain fin, strip offset fin, perforated fin, and wavy fin, are modeled and simulated by taking account of fin thickness, thermal entry effect, and end effect. Three-dimensional numerical simulations...
