Summary

Local heat transfer on the plate fin of a fin-and-tube heat exchanger element with flat tubes in staggered arrangement was measured by liquid crystal thermography in the Reynolds number range of 600-3000. The flow loss was estimated from the measured pressure loss. The influence of the longitudinal vortex generators on fin heat transfer and flow losses was investigated.
