Abstract

Highlights: [•] We propose Fanning factor and Nusselt number correlations for the airfoil PCHE. [•] We evaluate the thermal–hydraulic performance for each PCHE type in terms of the total cost. [•] The zigzag PCHE is the most appropriate IHX for the HTGRs, operating in laminar region. [•] The straight PCHE is the best for the IHX in the SFRs, operating in turbulent region.
