Summary

THE EFFECTS OF < T BAFFLES > UPON THE PERFORMANCE OF A COPPER FINNED-TUBE AIR-TO-WATER HEAT EXCHANGER ARE CONSIDERED. BASIC TECHNIQUES FOR QUANTIFYING HEAT EXCHANGER PERFORMANCE ARE REVIEWED. CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS ARE PRESENTED AS PLOTS OF COLBURN J-FACTOR VS REYNOLDS NUMBER BASED ON HYDRAULIC DIAMETER. TEST DATA ARE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE LOWER AIR FLOW RATES THAN WERE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED IN TH TA FRICTION EFFECTS INDUCED BY THE USE OF BAFFLES ARE ALSO EXAMINED AND PRESENTED ASPLOTS OF FRICTION FACTOR VS REYNOLDS NUMBER.
