State of the art on flow and heat transfer performance of compact fin-and-tube heat exchangers

The need for better thermal–hydraulic performance of heat exchangers remains the primary reason for further improving the design of heat exchanger. Various investigations have been carried out on the design and performance of fin-and-tube heat exchangers (HEs). Different HE designs were made availab...
