Flow Maldistribution in Tube Bundles. Application on Air-Cooled Steam Condensers

Scientific Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, , language: English, abstract: Tube bundles are standard equipment in heat exchanger design. Typically, when passing the bundle the process flow is subject to several flow re-directions which in consequence, lead to an uneven process side flow profile in parallel tubes. This may be harmless if speed differences are...
