Amongst these fin types the serrated fins assume lot of importance due to its enhanced thermo-hydraulic performance. Thermo-hydraulic design of CHEs （Compact heat exchangers） is strongly dependent upon the predicted/measured dimensionless performance （Colburnj factor and Fanning friction vs. Reynolds number） of heat transfer surfaces. This paper describes the numerical analysis to study the heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of Serrated fins in water medium. CFD （Computational fluid dynamics） methodology has been used to develop the single phase water heat transfer coefficient and friction factor correlations for serrated fins using ANSYS Fluent 14.5. The results are compared with previous air-cooled models and experimental results of water. The water cooled CFD analysis results shows that the Prandtl number has a large effect on the Nusselt number of the serrated fin geometry. Finally, the generalized correlations are developed for serrated fins taking all geometrical parameters into account. This numerical estimation can reduce the number of tests/experiments to a minimum for similar applications.展开更多
In this paper we consider of natural oscillations cylindrical bodies with external friction. Complex rates changes from friction parameters are shown. Rate equations are solved numerically—by method of Muller.
