MATLAB coding and experimental analysis of spiral plate heat exchanger.

A heat exchanger is used in different applications like cooling or heating of a fluid stream of single or multi component fluid streams. Air-conditioning, chemical plants, petrochemical plants etc. It is utilized to move thermal energy (enthalpy) between minimum of two fluids, between a solid body and a fluid, at numerous temperatures in heat interaction. There are typically no external heat and work connections. Heat transfer should be possible in sequences of action in fluids, liquid to gas. Heat exchangers are used to reheat a cold fluid, cool a hot fluid, or combine the two. In this paper design the spiral plate heat exchanger and tested with fluid is water and MATLAB code is written for spiral plate heat exchanger according to our design point of view and compare different fluids i.e water and unused engine oil and graph is generated for effectiveness Vs Mass flow rate of cold fluid.
