3D-CFD simulation and neural network model for the j and f factors of the wavy fin-and-flat tube heat exchangers

A three dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and a neural network model are presented to estimate the behaviors of the Colburn factor (j) and the Fanning friction factor (f) for wavy fin - and - flat tube (WFFT) heat exchangers. Effects of the five geometrical factors of fi...
