Quantitative characterization of triangular leakage flow in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with Y-shaped helical baffles

Triangular leakage flow near adjacent baffle junctions is a typical bypass-flow problem in discontinuous helical baffle shell-and-tube heat exchangers, which weakens transverse disturbance and local heat transfer. However, existing evaluations still rely largely on qualitative fl...
