About this book

This Brief deals with Performance Evaluation Criteria (PEC) for heat exchangers, single phase flow, objective function and constraints, algebraic formulation, constant flow rate, fixed flow area, thermal resistance, heat exchanger effectiveness, relations for St and f, finned tube banks, variations of PEC, reduced exchanger flow rate, exergy based PEC, PEC for two-phase heat exchangers, work consuming, work producing and heat actuated systems. The authors explain Performance Criteria of Enhanced Heat Transfer Surfaces—the ratio of enhanced performance to the basic performance—and its importance for Heat Transfer Enhancement and efficient thermal management in devices.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
This chapter briefs the importance of performance evaluation criteria in the design of heat exchangers for single-phase flow and two-phase flow. The objectives and constraints in developing different performance evaluation criteria have been discussed.
Sujoy Kumar Saha, Hrishiraj Ranjan, Madhu Sruthi Emani, Anand Kumar Bharti
Chapter 2. Single-Phase Flow Performance Evaluation Criteria
Abstract
This chapter is mainly focused on performance evaluation criteria for single-phase flow. The objectives and constraints of fixed geometry criteria, variable geometry criteria and fixed cross-sectional flow area criteria have been discussed here. The thermal resistance, St and f relations, heat exchanger effectiveness, effect of reduced exchanger flow rate and flow over finned tube bank topics have been presented.

Chapter 3. Performance Evaluation Criteria Based on Laws of Thermodynamics
Abstract
This chapter deals with works carried out by various researchers across the globe on performance evaluation criteria based on first law analysis and second law analysis. The importance of using proper criteria which considers both first law and second law analysis in order to evaluate the performance of augmentation techniques has been presented.

Chapter 4. PEC for Two-Phase Flow
Abstract
The performance evaluation criteria analysis for two-phase flow has been presented in this chapter. The disadvantages of using single-phase PEC correlations for two-phase flow have been discussed. Also, the factors to be considered to modify the single-phase PEC such that they can be applicable to two-phase flow have been listed.
