CFD performance analysis of finned-tube CO2 gas coolers with various inlet air flow patterns

A detailed model of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on a finned-tube CO2 gas cooler has been developed and validated. The model is then applied to investigate the effect of uniform and mal-distribution inlet airflow profiles on the coil performance. The airflow mal-distribution...
