Turbulent heat transfer in a plate heat exchanger
 
Hello,

I am currently writing a code with Matlab to calculate the heat transfer in a plate heat exchanger. The flow ist turbulent.

In order to validate my numerical results, I would like to know whether there exits a Nusselt correlation which describes heat transfer in this specific case.

So far I have found the Gnielinksi correlation which calculates the Nusseltnumber in a heatexchanger with two isothermal walls or 2 walls with a constant heatflux. My case has one isothermal and one adiabatic wall. Does anyone know a Nusselt correlation which describes heat transfer for this specific case?
