The Wilson plot approach was applied in order to estimate heat transfer coefficients for the PHEx passages. The main aim of the paper was to experimentally check ability of several correlations published in the literature to predict heat transfer coefficients by comparison experimentally obtained data with appropriate predictions. The results obtained revealed that Hausen and Dittus-Boelter correlations underestimated heat transfer coefficient for the tested PHEx by an order of magnitude. The Aspen Plate code overestimated heat transfer coefficient by about 50%, while Muley-Manglik correlation overestimated it from 1% to 25%, dependent on the value of Reynolds number and hot or cold liquid side.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Heat transfer in plate heat exchanger channels: Experimental validation of selected correlation equations}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/105628/PDF/02_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aoter-2016-0017}, keywords={PHEx, Wilson method, correlations}, }
