Eulerian multiphase model turns out to be a promising tool to evaluate thermal and fluid mechanical performance of MBHX - especially at low flow rates. Static zones have great impact on thermal performance in MBHX. The model roughly captures static zones but not void zones below the tubes. Regarding heat transfer, simulation and experiment show good agreement at low velocities. However, at high flow speed the model overestimates the heat transfer.
