Finned Tube Heat Exchanger Design
Finned Tube Heat Exchanger Design
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to find some good online sources for designing finned tube heat exchangers. The best source I have so far is "Compact Heat Exchangers, W.M.Kays and A.L.London", which is very good however it is quite a brief text.
There seems to be very few examples for designing this type of heat exchanger.
Can someone point me in the direction of some good text for designing a finned tube heat exchanger?
Thanks in advance.

Made things a bit confusing until I figured out what he had done wrong.
