Numerical simulation of flow and cooling heat transfer of supercritical pressure refrigerants in chevron-type plate heat exchanger

•A CFD model predicting heat transfer at supercritical pressure in PHE is established.•Present simulation agreed well with experimental results.•Characteristics of heat transfer in PHE are discussed based on calculations. In industrial fields, heat sources exceeding 130°C are necessitated; hence, th...
