Abstract
In a heat exchanger, a convoluted plate disposed in a fluid stream flowing in an axial direction generates adjacent counterrotating, large scale axial vortices downstream thereof adjacent a wall over which the fluid flows. The convoluted plate is constructed to produce minimum pressure losses, while the vortices increase the heat transfer rate between the fluid and the wall.
