Abstract

Usually the contact between fin collar and tube surface for fin-tube heat exchanger is secured by mechanical expansion of the tubes. The objective of the present study is to develop a method of measuring the thermal contact resistance between fin collar and tube surface for fin-tube heat exchanger. Also an experimental work has been performed to evaluate the thermal contact resistance, and a rigorous numerical analysis has been employed to calculate the contact resistance from the measured data. The experiments have been conducted fur the fin-tube heat exchangers with the tube of outer diameters 7 and 9.52 mm.
