Towards the Development of Generalized Correlations for the Design of Compact Heat Exchangers

This work looks at the design of finned surfaces, explores existing generalised correlations and further shows the development of new ones. The aim is to develop correlations with the following features: a) the range of validity of the Reynolds number is extended from laminar to turbulent regimes, a...
