Heat transfer and friction correlations for plate finned-tube heat exchangers having plain fins

DL Gray, RL Webb - International Heat Transfer Conference …, 1986 - dl.begellhouse.com
This paper is concerned with heat exchangers having continuous, flat fins on a staggered
array of circular tubes. Correlations are developed to predict the air-side heat transfer …

Air-side heat transfer and friction correlations for plain fin-and-tube heat exchangers with staggered tube arrangements

NH Kim, B Youn, RL Webb - 1999 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
This paper deals with heat exchangers having plain fins on a staggered array of circular
tubes. Correlations are developed to predict the air-side heat transfer coefficient and friction …

Nucleate pool boiling data for five refrigerants on plain, integral-fin and enhanced tube geometries

RL Webb, C Pais - International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 1992 - Elsevier
Data are presented for nucleate pool boiling on five different horizontal tube geometries using
five refrigerants at two saturation temperatures. The refrigerants tested are R-11, R-12, R-…

Air-side heat transfer in finned tube heat exchangers

RL Webb - Heat Transfer Engineering, 1980 - Taylor & Francis
Because of the low heat transfer coefficient of gases, it is necessary to use extended surfaces
on the gas side when exchanging heat with liquids or two-phase fluids. Such finned tube …
