The mixed convection heat transfer has been studied numerically for misaligned and parrallel arrays of two flat plates at 100.leg.Re.leg.700, 0.1.leg.B.leg.1.0, 0.2.leg.leg.PHI.$_{R}$.leg.1Gr=10$^{4}$ and Pr=0.71. For misaligned plates and parallel plates, the optimum plate spacings move to the narrow spacing as Reynolds number and .PHI.$_{R}$ increase and can be expressed by the correlation equations at Gr=10$^{4}$. The optimum plate spacings for parallel plates sharply move to the narrow spacing compared with misaligned plates. The maximum mean Nusselt number of parallel plates shows higher value than that of misaligned plates and can be expressed by the correlation equations at Gr=10$^{4}$.EX>.

The steady laminar mixed convection from vertically misaligned, isothermal plastes has been studied by numerical procedure. The governing equations are solved by the finite difference method using successive using successive over relaxation scheme at Re=100-800, $Gr=10^3-10^6$, Pr=0.71 and dimensionless plate spacings b/L=0.1-1.0. The plume interaction caused by the thermal interference of twoplates is observed. As Reynolds numbers increase, the optimum plate spacings are moved to narrow spacings at the same Grashof number and as Grashof numbers increase, to wide spacings at the same Reynolds number.

The design optimization of the plate heat exchanger with staggered pin arrays for a fixed volume is performed numerically. The flow and thermal fields are assumed to be a streamwise-periodic flow and heat transfer with constant wall temperature and they are solved by using the finite volume method. The optimization is carried out by using the sequential linear programming (SLP) method and the weighting method is used for solving the multi-objective problem. The results show that the optimal design variables for the weighting coefficient of 0.5 are as follows; S=6.497mm, P=5.496mm, $D_1=0.689mm$, and $D_2=2.396mm$. The Pareto optimal solutions are also presented.

An analysis is made of the laminar fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in a parallel-plate channel to whose walls are fitted with a series of equidistant staggered fins placed transversely to the flow direction. The governing equations are solved numerically by a finite-volume method for elliptic flows. Based on the obtained solutions of flow and temperature fields, the effects of Reynolds number and various geometric parameters on the heat transfer performance and pressure drop are evaluated. A comparson of the heat transfer characteristics between the channels with and without staggered fins is also made.
