Abstract
A comprehensive review of the thermo-mechanical properties of heat exchangers used in renewable energy facilities is presented in this research study. Heat exchangers are essential
components of many renewable energy resources like biomass boilers, geothermal power plants, and solar thermal systems. It is crucial to comprehend their thermo-mechanical behavior in order to maximize efficiency, guarantee dependability, and increase operational lifespan. This work explores the complex interactions between mechanical stresses and thermal effects in heat exchangers using sophisticated computational and analytical approaches. Important insights into the temperature distribution, stress distribution, and possible failure mechanisms are obtained by numerical simulations and experimental validation. The results aid in the creation of durable heat exchanger designs that can survive the harsh circumstances present in renewable energy systems.
