Beneficial design of unbaffled shell-and-tube heat exchangers for attachment of longitudinal fins with trapezoidal profile

A parametric variation followed with Kern’s method of design of extended surface heat exchanger has been made for an unbaffled shell-and-tube heat exchanger problem. For this analysis, the rectangular and trapezoidal fin shapes longitudinally attached to the fin tubes are taken. In comparison with t...
