Resumo

This paper gives a brief summary of computational methods in heat transfer equipment, i.e., CFD (computational fluid dynamics) methods for thermal problems, and turbulence modeling for single phase applications in the design, research and development of heat exchangers. Some examples for real heat exchangers are shown to demonstrate how CFD methods can be used as R & D tools. Nevertheless, limitations and shortcomings as well as need for further research are highlighted.
