Three-dimensional simulations of four louver-tube junction geometries are performed to investigate the effect on louver and tube friction and heat transfer characteristics. Three Reynolds numbers, 300, 600 and 1100, based on bulk velocity and louver pitch are calculated. Strong three-dimensionality

We study the effect of heat transfer between the tubes of a plate-fin and tube heat exchanger by conduction through the fins. Fin conduction not only enhances heat transfer to the over-tube fluid, but also increases tube-to-tube conduction. A continuum model to evaluate this conduction is developed
Experiments are performed to determine the response of the pressure drop and local heat transfer on the shell side of shell-and-tube heat exchangers to a change in the leakage between baffles and shell in the fully developed regime. The local mass and heat transfer coefficients are visualized and de
