Abstract This numerical analysis presents the airside performance of a wavy fin-and-tube heat exchanger having 4 row configurations considering steady,
incompressible and 3D flow using Commercial CFD Code ANSYS CFX 12.0. Results are presented in the form of friction factor (f), Colburn factor
(j) and efficiency index (j/f). The numerical procedure has been validated by comparison with published numerical and experimental results and good
agreement has been observed. A series of numerical calculations have been carried out in order to analyze the influence of various geometric
characteristics on different fields as well as on the heat transfer and pressure drop and… More >
