Abstract:Compact heat exchangers equipped with flat tubes have traditionally been employed in automotive cooling systems. To augment thermal performance, louvered fins have been integrated on the air side. over recent decades, the efficacy of longitudinal vortex generators (LVG) in heat exchangers has been rigorously investigated, leading to the proposal of innovative designs characterized by their aerodynamic properties. In this study, a novel LVG design sourced from extant literature was juxtaposed against the conven… Show more
