Notes:
Heat transfer and pressure drop data were taken on commercial plate heat exchange equipment. Nusselt and Euler correlations were determined for each of the six commercial heat exchangers investigated. These correlations were combined to establish a single heat transfer-pressure drop relationship for any plate type of heat exchanger channel.The results of this investigation were tested by using the correlations developed in Part I of this series to predict pressure drop data for the commercial unit based on their channel geometries. These predicted pressure drops were then used with the results of this part of the series to predict and compare heat transfer data.The correlations developed in this work allow one to determine the heat transfer characteristics in a ribbed rectangular channel from the pressure drop characteristics of the channel in question.
