Abstract: The characterization and scaling of the thermal-hydraulic performance in wavy plate-fin compact heat exchanger cores, based on the understanding of the physical phenomena and heat transfer enhancement mechanism is delineated. ...

Abstract: Forced convective enhanced heat transfer performance of airflows (50 ≤ Re ≤ 4000, Pr ∼ 0.71) in novel slotted sinusoidal wavy-plate-fins is investigated both experimentally and computationally. The slotted wavy fin core ...

Abstract: The influence of wall-corrugation-induced swirl flow on enhanced forced convection in wavy-plate-fin cores has been investigated. Three-dimensional computational simulations were carried out for steady-state periodically ...

Abstract: New generalized correlations for predicting the average fanning friction factor f and average Nusselt number Nu for laminar flow in plain plate-fin compact cores of rectangular cross section are presented. These are based ...
