Abstract:Vortex generator is considered as an effective device for augmentation of the thermal-hydraulic performance of a heat exchanger. The aim of present study is to examine the influence of vortex generators on a double fin and tube heat exchanger performance. Vortex generator of rectangular winglet type is chosen and investigated at different angles of attack 0 • , −10 • and −20 • with the flow direction. Three-dimensional numerical model is developed and simulations are performed for a Reynolds number range 5000 … Show more
