Performance of Wire Springs as Extended Heat Transfer Surface for Compact Heat Exchangers

Use of thin metal wire structures as a new type of extended heat transfer surface is proposed. As one of the most basic shapes of such wire structures, heat transfer performance of spring shaped fins is experimentally investigated under relatively low Reynolds number conditions. The averaged heat tr...
