摘要
A circuit data structure (circuit connection network) for a general description of different circuit configurations in computer programs is presented. On basis of this data structure, a general tube-by-tube simulation model and the corresponding code for prediction of plate fin-and-tube heat exchanger performance are developed. The code can be applied to any complex circuit configuration, and also has great flexibility in simulation of heat exchanger with different fin structures, tube types, and various refrigerants under both dry and wet conditions. The model and the code are verified against experimental results both in literature and authors' data, and have been successfully adopted to simulate a practical heat exchanger. Design software based on the model is developed using C++, which is a highly flexible and customizable simulation platform with friendly graphic user interface. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
