Abstract
Considerable improvement of heat transfer in flat-plate heat exchangers is obtainable by inserting in parallel an impermeable, resistless sheet to div ide an open duct into two channels for double-flow operations. The effect o f impermeable-sheet location on the enhancement of transfer efficiency as w ell as on the increment of power consumption, has been discussion.
