One of the most effective ways to deal with effects current global energy crisis is reduce consumption and rely management strategies. As a result, waste heat/energy recovery might be helpful option for decreasing costs environmental effect. It entails finding practical way apply any engineering system's wasted heat where percentage too high in global. In this context, hot water rich source that, if recovered, can significantly cut down on amount electricity used worldwide. Within framework,...

In this paper, a contemporary concept that is based on dividing, by means of multi-passages, the water flow rate water-air cross heat exchangers (HXs) proposed. The thermal performance varies through rationale function when changes. new dividing high rates entering water-flow exchanger into several passages. This fragmentation prevents keeping from being nearly constant at which lead to increasing globally. feasibility was examined and had been proven calculations double passage using an...
