Abstract

Engineering Engineering Thermodynamics Heat and Mass Transfer Industrial Chemistry/Chemical Engineering Original Thermodynamics
A simulation model of a fin-and-tube heat exchanger is presented. The effect of the relative humidity, air speed, fin base temperature, and inlet air temperature on the estimation of the overall heat-transfer coefficient and fin efficiency under wet conditions is also investigated. This model considers a non-uniform airflow velocity as well as a variable sensible heat transfer coefficient.
