Application of Response Surface Methodology and Artificial Neural Network to Optimize the Curved Trapezoidal Winglet Geometry for Enhancing the Performance of a Fin-and-Tube Heat Exchanger
The present work aims at optimizing the geometry of curved trapezoidal winglets to enhance heat transfer rates (expressed as Colburn factor, <i>j</i>) and minimize pressure losses (expressed as friction factor, <i>f</i>). A fin-and-tube heat exchanger was analyzed with wingle...
