Abstract

This journal article delves into the realm of heat exchanger materials, presenting a comprehensive analysis of their influence on thermal efficiency and overall performance. Covering an array of materials, including metals, alloys, polymers, and composites, the study investigates their thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical characteristics within the context of heat exchange applications. By synthesizing existing literature, the article offers valuable insights for engineers and researchers grappling with material selection for various heat exchanger scenarios. The examination of factors such as operating conditions, cost considerations, and sustainability aids in navigating the complex decision-making process. This work seeks to provide a practical guide for optimizing heat exchanger design, ultimately contributing to advancements in efficiency and durability across diverse industrial settings.(Kant et al., 2021)
