Abstract
In the present work, a two-dimensional code is developed to calculate the heat-exchanger thermal performance in relation to the airflow topology upstream of the heat exchanger induced by its integration in complex environments such as the car underhood compartment. It was shown that the non-uniformity in the upstream velocity distribution decreases the thermal performance of the heat exchanger.
