CFD analysis and heat transfer characteristics of finned tube heat exchangers

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to fulfill the parametric analysis on the heating performance of a compact automotive radiator using computational fluid dynamics. The analysis has been carried out at different air velocities with different fins modeling as real fins and as porous media. SC-Tetra computational fluid dynamics software was used for this study. The fluids are incompressible; the flow was three-dimensional and turbulent. The geometry of the fins has a high impact to the heat transfer coefficient and the he… Show more

“…For the CFD simulations, realizable k-« turbulence model was used because this turbulence model is more stable in higher Reylnods-number zones as other turbulence models. Pressure based solver type was set [7]. The simulated medium was air and for the density value ideal gas model was used.…”

“…However, still more than the cut-off limit in this case the m is equal to 5 and ∆σD should be used instead of ∆σC, and the reference number of cycles is 5•10 6 , where ∆σD is the constant amplitude fatigue limit. In this case, the number of cycles could be calculated with the formula on the right [7].…”

“…In one of previous research, the problem of adaptive optimization has been employed using evolutionary programming in the optimization of large-scale maintenance systems [1]. If the optimization problem is complex, it is hard to find the global minimum or maximum [2,3]. In this paper, the firefly algorithm has been applied to a logistic problem with a large variable count.…”
