Simulation and improvement of mechanical expansion of tubes in finned-tube coils – Article présenté au Congrès International du Froid, Pékin, Août 2007
Abstract: In finned-tube heat exchangers, the mechanical bond which results from tube expansion constitutes an additional resistance to heat transfer. So far, all investigations on this thermal contact resistance have only focused on its amplitude and the effects of different geometric parameters or materials. Contact thermal resistance is often reported to account for 5-15% of […]
