Bypass, Loss, and Heat Transfer in Aircraft Surface Coolers

Surface coolers are heat exchangers with fins on the air side. When air approaches the fins, a portion is diverted away (bypass) because of the adverse pressure gradients induced by the fins. Also, for the air that does flow between the fins, a portion exits (loss) because of pressure rise along the...
