Numerical Implementation of Direct and Reverse Flow for Plate Heat Exchanger

One of the best solutions for the heat exchange is the plate heat exchangers, which are characterized by high thermal efficiency. Where in this paper work has been done on a plate heat exchanger with dimensions appropriate to its practical application and changing the fluid exit areas to increase the surface area of exchange. And the use of more than one class to see the improvements and changes that can be analyzed and benefited from the first part represents the heat exchanger with a direct direction and the change in the number of plates. Where two sets of models were designed, the first representing the change in the number of plates, where 10, 20 and 30 plates were used to irrigate the real rate of increasing the number of plates. As for the second part, it represents the heat exchanger with a reverse path and compare them with each other. The result show that when increasing the number of plates in the plate heat exchanger, it increases the transfer area and thus increases the value of the transferred heat energy. In the case where the best transfer of heat energy is compared to 20 and 10 blades, where the exit temperature reached 308.1 K, it is noticing an increase in the transfer of thermal energy.
