Abstract
Plate heat exchangers are devices commonly used in industry due to their high efficiency and ease cleaning. Although its first use was in food sector, nowadays this equipment can be found in most industrial segments, like chemistry and oil industry. Due the facility of fabrication, the corrugated gasket plate heat exchanger is amply utilized in those segments. However, most of the correlations available in the literature were developed to predict the thermal-hydraulic performance of plate heat exchangers applied to the food segment. Thus, the main objective of this work is to study the existent correlations and adapt them for prediction of the thermo-hydraulic behavior of such devices when applied to other industry segments, in special the oil sector.
