Steady - state heat transfer and pressure drop data for single - phase viscous fluid flows (2 <= Re <= 400) in a single - pass U - type counterflow plate heat exchanger (PHE) with chevron plates are presented. With vegetable oil as test fluid (130 < Pr < 290), three different plate arrangements are employed: two symmetric (b = 30 deg/30 deg and 60 deg / 60 deg) and one mixed (b = 30 deg / 60 deg). The effects of chevron angle b, corrugation aspect ratio j, and flow conditions (Re, Pr, µ / µw on Nu and f characteristics of the PHE are delineated. The results show a rather complex influence of plate surface corrugations on the enhanced thermal - hydraulic behavior. Relative to the performance of equivalent flat - plate packs, chevron plates sustain up to 2.9 times higher heat transfer rates on a fixed geometry and constant pumping power basis, and require up to 48 percent less surface area for the fixed heat load and pressure drop constraint.
