Summary

The paper studies the effect of Reynolds number, fin pitch, louver thickness, and louver angle on flow efficiency in multi-louvered fins. Results show that flow efficiency is strongly dependent on geometrical parameters, especially at low Reynolds numbers. Flow efficiency increases with Reynolds number and louver angle, while decreasing with fin pitch and thickness ratio.
