Abstract:
The air-side heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of wavy fin-and-tube heat exchanger punched with combined rectangular winglet pairs (CRWPs) were numerically analyzed. The influences of several main parameters of the CRWP on heat transfer and friction were examined and compared to rectangular winglet pairs (RWP). The numerical results showed that the wavy fin-and-tube heat exchanger has a better heat transfer performance when the winglets punched on the suction side of the wavy fin. For the wavy fin punched with CRWPs, the Nusselt number and friction factor increase with increases of secondary attack angle, accessory winglet length or accessory winglet width. In. comparison with RWP, the vortices generated by CRWP are more, larger and stronger. Hence, CRWP can more effectively improve heat transfer and increase friction.
