Abstract-The present work investigates the enhancement of heat transfer by using different number of circular fins (8, 10, 12, 16, and 20) in double tube counter flow heat exchanger experimentally. The fins are made of copper with dimensions 66 mm OD, 22 mm ID and 1 mm thickness. Each fin has three of 14 mm diameter perforations located at 120o from each to another. The fins are fixed on a straight smooth copper tube of 1 m length, 19.9 mm ID and 22.2 mm OD. The tube is inserted inside the insulated PVC tube of 100 mm ID. The cold water is pumped around the finned copper tube, inside the PVC, at mass flow rates range (0.01019 - 0.0219) kg/s. The Reynold's number of hot water ranges (640 - 1921). The experiment results are obtained using six double tube heat exchanger (1 smooth tube and the other 5 are finned one). The results, illustrated that the heat transfer coefficient proportionally with the number of fin. The results also showed that the enhancement ratio of heat transfer for finned tube is higher than for smooth tube with (9.2, 10.2, 11.1, 12.1 13.1) times for number of fins (8, 10, 12, 16 and 20) respectively.

Measurements were made of the combined natural convection and radiation heat transfer from a horizontal finned tube situated in a vertical channel open at the top and bottom. In one set of experiments, both walls of the channel were heavily insulated, while in a second set of experiments, one of the insulated walls was replaced by an uninsulated metallic sheet. In general, the heat transfer coefficients were found to be lower with the metal wall in place, but only moderately. With the finned tube situated at the bottom of the channel, the differences in the heat transfer coefficients corresponding to the two types of walls were only a few percent. When the tube was positioned at the mid-height of the channel, larger differences were encountered, but in the practical range of Rayleigh numbers, the differences did not exceed 5 percent.

In this article, finned copper tube used in the central air conditioning was acted as the discussed object. According to the combination with actual processing and theoretical calculations, Five finned tube was selected with typical structural parameters, and established their entity model using Pro/E, then the heat transfer process of finned tube was simulated through the ANSYS, the effect of the fin height, fin thickness and other structure parameters to the heat transfer enhancement of finned tube was researched. Meantime the efficiency of the heat transfer under different convection heat transfer coefficient was also studied.

In this work the heat transfer and pressure drop experimental results obtained in a two step finned tube bank with conical fins are presented. The tube bank had an equilateral triangle array composed of nine finned tubes with conical fins inclined 45 degrees in respect with the tube axis. The heat exchange external area of a single tube is approximately 0.07 m2. All necessary thermal parameters, inlet/outlet temperatures, mass flows, for the heat balance in the tube bank were determined for different air velocities, Re = 3400–18400, and one constant thermal charge provided by a hot water flow with a temperature of 80 °C. As a result, the correlations for the heat transfer and pressure drop calculation were obtained. The experimental results were compared against the analytical results for a tube bank with annular fins with the same heat exchange area. It was found that the proposed tube bank using finned tubes with conical fins shows an increment of heat transfer up to 58%.
