Abstract: This study proposes a new method, namely the “fully wet and fully dry tiny circular fin method,” for analyzing the heat and mass transfer characteristics of plain fin-and-tube heat exchangers ...

Abstract: Measurements of the pressure drops for water flowing in small diameter tubes having U-type wavy configuration are presented. The inner diameters of the test copper tubes (D) are 3.43, 5.07, ...

Abstract: This study experimentally investigates the effect of circuitry on the refrigerant-side pressure drops of plate finned tube evaporators. Experiments were performed with countercross, parallel-cross, ...

Abstract: This study examines the refrigerant distribution of a dual cold-plate system subject to the influence of heating load, using a R-134a based vapor compression system with a nominal capacity ...

Abstract: This study examines the spreading ability of rectangular plates numerically, analytically, and experimentally. The effect of aspect ratio, defined as an equivalent radius of a heater divided by ...
