Abstract: Platefin heat exchangers and tubefin heat exchangers with wavy surfaces are characterized by high compactness and excellent heat transfer performance [1]. Early data on geometries of wavy surfaces were presented by Kays ...

Abstract: Effects of wavyfins surface area on thermalhydraulic performance of a heat exchanger have been observed. First, a new method to calculate the heat transfer area of wavyfin surfaces is introduced. The results show that the ...

Abstract: To obtain better fluid mixing and higher heat transfer in the low Reynolds number regime, various wavy fins are employed in heat sinks (heat exchangers) for electronic cooling applications. However, it was reported in ...

Abstract: Pinfins are considered as one of the best elements for heat transfer enhancement in heat exchangers. In this study, the topology of pinfins (length, diameter, and shape) is optimized based on the entropy generation ...
