Thermal Calculations of Four-Row Plate-Fin and Tube Heat Exchanger Taking into Account Different Air-Side Correlations on Individual Rows of Tubes for Low Reynold Numbers
Currently, when designing plate-fin and tube heat exchangers, only the average value of the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) is considered. However, each row of the heat exchanger (HEX) has different hydraulic–thermal characteristics. When the air velocity upstream of the HEX is lower than approximat...
