Heat exchangers are commonly used in industrial fields such as air conditioning, petrochemical and agriculture-food industries. The design and utilization of a heat exchanger should fulfill some conditions of performance, economy and space requirement. The most widely operated heat exchangers make use of fin-and-tube configuration in association with the application of heating, ventilating, air...

numerical and experimental analyses are performed on multilouvered fin banks in low and medium reynolds regimes to investigate the effects of dimples and perforations on flow structure and heat transfer capacity. in different reynolds numbers the flow efficiency has been calculated numerically and experimentally by flow visualization method and the results showed that dimples and perforations c...

the steady state effect of vertical fins is assessed on a photovoltaic/thermal solar air heater having a double pass configuration in which fins are placed in the lower channel perpendicular to the direction ofair flow. air passes through the upper channel of the air heater and before passing in the opposite direction through the lower channel. the effects of design, climatic and operating para...

The efficiency of a cooling fin of given weight is measured by the amount of heat dissipated per unit time by the fin. It is known that the efficiency of a given fin can be altered by changing the shape of the fin. In this paper we determine the shape of the most efficient fin of given weight and length, and thickness h.

Accurate prediction of the performance ofcooling coils is fundamental to the design of efficient ventilation and air-conditioning systems. The actual heat transfer that takes place can be considered as the performance evaluating criteria for any system and this can be expressed in terms of fin efficiency. Fin efficiency is a function of ambient conditions and fin geometry parameters. Obtaining ...

A numerical study has been conducted to investigate the influence of fin pitch and relative humidity on the heat transfer performance of the fin-and-tube heat exchangers having plain fin geometry under dehumidifying conditions. The analysis is done using the ratio between the heat transfer coefficients in totally wet conditions and those in totally dry conditions using the appropriate correlati...
