Optimizing Heat Exchanger Design in COMSOL Multiphysics

Summary

Heat exchangers are commonly used in oil refineries and other large chemical plants. The optimal performance of a shell and tube heat exchanger is affected by various design parameters like diameter and positions. Nevertheless, optimization of heat exchangers is vital for improving energy efficiency, reducing operational costs, and minimizing environmental impact.

During this webinar

Application engineer and COMSOL Multiphysics expert, Dr. Arpad Forberger will present the set-up of models and some advanced optimization features. You will also see Arpad go through the workflow and select physics features of a heat exchanger and other related modeling steps.
