Heat transfer from one fluid to another fluid is important application in engineering science, various type of heat exchanger devices were developed by engineers from previous decades. Main common shapes are like simple straight pipe, curved shape pipe, twisted shape pipe, custom shape pipes like corrugated plate heat exchanger having circular pipes. In present study three type of corrugated plates are selected which are following simple flat plate, circular plate, angular plate type heat exchangers and these are investigated in present book using field experiments and numerical simulations. Simple U bend tubes are experimental investigated and validated with numerical simulation and present in this research work. Design of experiment (DOE) "Taguchi" method is selected for present research work and total 16 experiments are selected and solved by using Ansys fluent software (CFD software). Signal to noise ratio analysis and ANOVA analysis is performed for outlet temperature and nusselt number investigation. Generated model equations are then optimized by using MOGA optimization tool available in MATLAB software.
