摘要
Plate-fin and tube heat exchangers are extensively studied both experimentally and numerically. However, data on the fluid flow and heat transfer in the exchanger passage with small diameter tubes have not been accumulated enough. With a large eddy simulation technique (LES), this study performs a detailed investigation of the fluid flow and heat transfer in a plate-and-tube channel with tubes of diameters as small as 5.2mm. The conservation equations for mass, heat, and momentum were solved by the proposed LES model. It was found that the LES model is appropriate to predict the fluid flow and heat transfer. Compared to heat exchangers of larges tubes, the heat exchangers exhibit much higher heat transfer coefficients with small tubes. The fin efficiencies are improved with small tubes.
