Numerical Analysis of Plain Fin-and-Oval-Tube Heat Exchanger with Different Inlet Angles

In industrial applications, oval tubes are often used instead of round tubes in finned tube heat exchanger for improving the heat transfer performance. In this paper, a periodical numerical method based on FLUENT software is carried out to investigate the heat transfer and pressure drop performances...
