Numerical analysis of airside characteristics in plain and wavy heat exchangers in the turbulent flow regime

Numerical investigation has been performed to study heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of plain fin and wavy fin heat exchangers in the external airside. The characteristics were studied using the dimensional parameters, friction factor and Colburn factor. The flow rate was varied over...
