Numerical simulation of plate-fin recuperator

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of geometrical variations on the performance of plate-fin recuperator. Solutions for this problem are obtained via numerical approach. Three different types of plate-fin recuperator has been investigated; rectangular, rounded and bullet edges. This...
