This literature review focuses on the study and applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the field of heat exchangers. It has been observed cfd analysis is a very useful tool in the field of heat exchangers to determine the heat transfer characteristics. Different models available in general purpose commercial CFD tools i.e. standard, realizable, energy model, radiation and k-ε (2eqn.), with velocity-pressure coupling schemes such as SIMPLEC have been adopted to carry out the simulations. The qualities of the solutions obtained from these simulations arewithin the acceptable range with very accurate results. Hence proving CFD as an effective tool for predicting the behavior and performance of a wide variety of heat exchangers.
