CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER AND FLOW FRICTION CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPACT HEAT EXCHANGER SURFACES

Abstract

The experimental results for convective heat transfer and flow friction characteristics of some screen, plate-fin and skewed fin matrices of various geometry are presented. The heat transfer data were obtained using the transient technique. The results, which are presented in graphic and tabular form, should be of practical use for compact heat exchanger design. The tabular results of a digital computer solution giving the maximum slope of the generalized heating curve as a unique function of NTU are appended.
