TL;DR: The types of maldistributions and their causes are discussed in this paper and means of avoiding or curing the problem are given where possible, where the performance loss is often small, there are associated mechanical problems that can be severe.
Abstract: The types of maldistributions and their causes are discussed. Where possible, means of-avoiding or curing the problem are given. While the performance loss is often small, there are associated mechanical problems that can be severe.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review on application of nanofluids in heat exchangers has been addressed, and it can be concluded that the use of nanophotonics in most cases improves heat transfer, which reduces the volume of heat exchanger, saving energy, consequently water consumption and industrial waste.
325 citations
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study to investigate two-phase flow distribution in compact heat exchanger manifolds is presented, and an experimental test rig to measure the flow distribution is built.
158 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program FLUENT has been used to predict the fluid flow distribution in plate-fin heat exchangers, and two modified headers with a two-stage distribution structure are proposed and simulated.
135 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the experimental and numerical results on fluid flow distribution, heat transfer and combination thereof, available in the open literature, is presented, with a set of design recommendations aimed at improving the reactor performance.
