Correlations of Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop for Offset Strip Fins

옵셋 스트립 핀에서의 열전달 및 압력 강하 상관식

This paper numerically investigates thermo-flow characteristics of offset strip fins to obtain a correlation of heat transfer and pressure drop. The flow is divided into three regimes, i.e. laminar, transition and turbulent. The predicted j and f values from the SST k-w turbulence model agree with previous correlations with the error less than 20% in transition and turbulent regimes. Prandtl number is varied from 0.5 to 40 and a correlation to predict heat transfer and pressure drop for offset strip fins is suggested.
