Numerical study on fin and tube heat exchanger by using elliptical tube-vortex generator

Enhancement of Round Tube and Flat Tube-Louver Fin Heat Exchanger Performance Using Deluge Water Cooling

An experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the performance of a compact round-tube louver-fin condenser, each with frontal areas of 0.25 m in both dry and wet conditions. Deluge water cooling is achieved by incorporating a perforated bottom plate-type water distributor on top of the round tube heat exchanger. Water is used as a refrigerant, and enters the heat exchanger tubes at 35°C ...

irreversibility analysis and numerical simulation in a finned-tube heat exchanger equipped with block shape vortex generator

in this paper the effect of block shape vortex generators (vgs) on an air-water fin-tube heat exchanger has been studied experimentally using exergy analysis method. also the effect of these vgs on increasing heat transfer rate has been simulated numerically and the results show a good agreement with the experiments. in this research we used a wind tunnel to produce wind flow over heat exchange...

Numerical and heat transfer analysis of shell and tube heat exchanger with circular and elliptical tubes

Background: Heat exchanger is a device in many industrial applications and energy conversion systems. Various heat exchangers are designed for different industrial processes and applications. Shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) has its own importance in the process industries. Methods: Experimental and numerical simulations are carried for a single shell and multiple pass heat exchangers with ...

Fin-and-Tube Heat Exchanger Solid Core Advanced Simulation

This paper is devoted to the presentation of an advanced model for the heat conduction processes within a finned tube bundle, typically found in air-cooled evaporators and condensers. As a result of the computational effort needed to simulate the desired fin-and-tube local unsteadiness, some actions have been undertaken in order to obtain reasonable simulation time consumption. A specific cutti...
