The objective of this study Is to investigate the heat transfer performance of plate discrete fin-and-tube heat exchangers with large fin pitch. In this study, twenty-two heat exchangers were tested with a variation of fin pitch, number of tube row, longitudinal tube pitch and fin alignment. Discrete fin type exchangers improved heat transfer performance more than 10% compared to tile continuous fin type heat exchangers. The air-side heat transfer coefficient decreased with a reduction of the fin pitch and an increase of the number of tube row, The staggered fin alignment improved heat transfer performance more than 6% compared to the inline fin alignment. The effect of longitudinal tube pitch was insignificant on the j-factor and experiments found opposite effects on the j-factor with respect to fin alignment. Heat transfer correlations were developed from the measured data for flat plate discrete fin-and-tube heat exchangers with large fin pitch. The correlations yielded good predictions of the measured data with mean deviations of 1,4% and 0.3% for tire inline and staggered tube alignment, respectively.

A rectangular fin with variable fin height, fin length and surrounding temperature is analyzed using a one-dimensional analytical method. Both the heat loss from a rectangular fin with non-insulated fin tip and that with insulated fin tip are presented as a function of the fin height, fin tip length and the convection characteristic number. The relative error in the heat loss of these two cases is also given as a function of the same variables. One of the results shows that the trend of heat loss for both cases with the variation of given variables is similar even though the relative error increases as the shape of the fin becomes shorter and fatter.

A comparison of the temperature distributions along the wall and center of the fin and the heat loss from the fin, computed assuming the fin tip is insulated and assuming it is not insulated in a triangular fin, is performed by the two-dimensional forced analytic method. When the fin tip is not insulated, a comparison between forced analytic method and analytic method is made in the heat loss and temperature along the fin wall. The value of Biot number varies from 0.01 to 1.0. The root temperature and surrounding convection coefficients of the fin are assumed as a constant. The results are (1) the analysis on the triangular fin assuming the fin tip is insulated does not produce a good value as compared to that of not-insulated case as the non-dimensional fin length decreases and as the value of Biot number increases and (2) the errors between forced analytic method and analytic method are very small, but the former method is better for computer running time and accuracy.

Heat loss from the trapezoidal fins haying different upper side slope and that from a rectangular fin are investigated by the three dimensional analytic method. It is shown that the trapezoidal fins having different upper side slope become an approximate rectangular fin by inst adjusting the slope factor. The comparison of the heat loss between a rectangular fin and an approximate rectangular fin is represented as a function of the non-dimensional fin length, fin width and Biot number to make sure that the analysis on the trapezoidal fins having different upper side slope is countable. One of the results is that the relative value of heat loss between a rectangular fin and an approximate rectangular fin is less than 1.5% for given ranges of non-dimensional length and width in case of Bi = 0.1.

Two-dimensional finite difference numerical analysis is used to study conjugate natural convection heat transfer from a horizontal conducting tube with one vertical axial fin. By increasing dimensionless fin length ($L_F$), the mean total Nusselt number of the upward fin is slightly less than that of the downward fin at $L_F\;{\le}\;0.18$ and is higher than that of the downward fin at $L_F\;>\;0.18$. However comparing the upward fin and the downward fin with the no fin, the mean total Nusselt numbers of downward fin and upward fin at $L_F=0.30$ are increased approximately 4.01% and 5.51%, respectively. As Rayleigh number, Prandtl number and Biot number increase, the mean total and the mean tube Nusselt numbers are increased, but as wall thickness increases, the mean total and the mean tube Nusselt numbers are decreased. As the fin conduction parameter increases, the mean total Nusselt number is slightly increased because of increasing the mean fin Nusselt number.

응축기, 증발기, 전열관에 사용되는 Fin Tube는 열전달효율 향상을 위하여 Fin의 높이 를 증가시키고, Tube의 최소두께를 얇게 가공하는 경향으로 발전하고 있다. 따라서, Fin Tube의 와전류탐상(ECT; Eddy Current Testing)에 의한 결함검출에 더욱 어려움이 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 Fin Tube의 Fin 높이를 3단계로 변화시켜 Tube를 제작하고, Tube에 축 방향결함, 원주방향결함, 원형결함을 각각 Fin Tube의 안쪽에 최소두께의 20%, 40%, 60% 의 동일결함율을 갖는 인공결함 시험편을 제작하였다. 제작한 원형결함시험편에 와전류탐상을 수행하여 Fin 높이에 따른 최적주파수의 변화를 연구하였다. Fin높이가 다른 원형결함 시험편에 1~20KHz 주파수를 적용한 결과 최적주파수는 12KHz로 Fin높이에 크게 영향을 받지 않음을 밝혔다 또한 Fin높이에 따른 최적주파수변화는 크지 않으나 Fin 높이가 높을수록 100%관통결함의 위상각(40')에 근접하여 나타났다. 축방향결함, 원주방향결함, 원형결함을 갖는 시험편에 와전류탐상을 수행한 결과 원형결함을 갖는 시험편의 신호 감도가 축방향결함, 원주방향결함보다 좋게 나타났다.

In almost all real situations, there will be a radiant interchange between adjacent fins with the base surface as well as with the external environment. In the problem of this study, a rectangular fin is attached to a based. Our concern is whether the convective fin efficiency can be increased by the radiation heat exchanged between the fin and the base surface and how much. If the fin temperature toward the tip increased by the effect of radiation, the convective heat transfer increase due to the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the surface temperature of the fin. If this true, the efficiency of the fin due to the radiation will increase. Attention is directed toward several parameters which have major roles on getting values of the fin efficiencies in several different values of parameters. Many different cases are, therefore, to be examined to have maximum fin efficiency by varying the values of each parameter.

In this study, thin film evaporation of water on low-fin tubes were experimentally investigated. Five low-fin tubes with different fin spacing and fin height were tested. Test range covered 0.146kg/ms $\leq$$\Gamma$$\leq$0.219kg/ms and 10㎾/$\m^2$$\leq$q $\leq$70㎾/$\m^2$. Saturation temperature was loot. Compared with the plain tube, low fin tubes enhanced the water film evaporation from 60% to 100%. Tubes with fin spacing smaller than 2mm and fin height higher than 1mm performed better than tubes with other fin configuration. However, when fin spacing was too small at high film flow or fin height was too high at low film flow, the performance decreased. The heat transfer coefficient slightly increased as the flow rate increased. Correlations are developed based on present data.

Optimum fin effectiveness of geometrically and thermally asymmetric trapezoidal fins is represented as a function of the ratio of the fin bottom to top Biot numbers, the ratio of the fin tip to top Biot numbers and fin shape factor. Optimum fin effectiveness is taken as 98% of the maximum fin effectiveness by comparing the increasing rate of fin effectiveness with that of dimensionless fin length. For this analysis, two dimensional separation of variables method is used. Also, the value of the slope of upper surface of the fin and fin efficiency corresponding to optimum effectiveness are presented.

Fin effectiveness and efficiency of a thermally asymmetric triangular fin are represented as a function of the ratio of fin lower surface Biot number to upper surface Biot number and the non-dimensional fin length. For this analysis, two dimensional separation of variables method is used. When fin effectiveness is 2 and efficiency is 90%, the relationship between the non-dimensional fin length and the ratio of fin lower stir(ace Biot number to upper surface Biot number is shown. The relationship between the non-dimensional fin length and the upper surface Biot number for the same condition is also presented.
