Description

• Numerical analysis was carried for novel configuration of high temperature PFHE
• Fluid flow and heat transfer properties were studied for various fin configurations
• Ripsaw fin design with thickness of 0.05 mm gives maximum heat transfer with less pressure drop and friction factor
• Validation and parametric study were carried out for all fin configurations
