Analysis of the thermal improvement of plate fin-tube heat exchanger with straight and curved rectangular winglet vortex generators

A novel combination of curved and straight rectangular winglet vortex generator (RWVG) pairs was arranged in a common-flow-up (CFU) configuration on plate fins for enhancing the comprehensive performance of the fin-tube heat exchanger. The effects of RWVGs were compared with those of non-RWVGs for f...
