Heat Transfer in Zig-Zag Heat Exchangers

This document outlines a student project to model heat transfer in zig-zag flow heat exchangers. The project aims to extend an existing CFD model to include convective heat transfer calculations. Specific tasks include performing a literature review, learning CFD, modeling simple pipe flow, incorporating heat transfer equations into the existing 16/17 model, validating results, and optimizing flow patterns. The student will work on tasks over several weeks and produce an interim report before the final model and optimization are completed.
