In this thesis the polymer heat exchangers to the current technology in metallic heat exchangers. A review ofstate of the art of polymer heat exchangers is presented and technological problems are identified. In a current metallicheat exchangers copper tube is used for transferring the heat exchangers, copper tube is used for transferring the heat.Since the thermal conductivity of the copper tube is high so when the copper tube transfers the heat there are some heatlosses. The thermal expansion coefficient of the copper tube is high so when the high temperature is achieved into thecopper tube than the shape and size of the copper tube also changes. Copper is a reactive metal so when the chemicaltreatment process is done for removing the chocking defect, copper metal react with the chemical so strength of thecopper tube will be decrease. In this simulation models were developed and used to explore the thermal-hydraulic,packaging and weight tradeoffs associated with polymer heat exchangers.
