ABSTRACT

The flow field and the heat transfer of spiral plate heat exchanger were studied. The distributions of temperature, pressure and velocity with different flow velocities were obtained. The numerical simulation results show that the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the equipment becomes smaller with the increase of velocity besides the pressure drop and the turbulence intensity increases with velocity increasing.
