Numerical assessment of an air-heat exchanger channel with staggered attached rectangular baffles and in-line detached square fins

The study?s main objective is to assess a channel heat exchanger?s thermal and hydraulic characteristics in the presence of turbulent air-flow at fixed Reynolds number. Using two distinct versions obstacles terms their shape, fix?ation, arrangement, baffles fins are implanted inside channel. To convert conventional flow path into wave-shaped one, first model contains rectangular alternately distributed throughout surfaces. According horizontal axis channel, between edges type, second relates square in-line deflectors (fins). On each channel?s solid bounds, boundary criteria specified. An k-? turbulence was used build mathematical for energy. As might be predicted, pressure, velocity, temperature fields exhibit greatest fluctuations areas closest obstacles.
