Abstract
ABSTRACT The cross flow over the tube bank is extensively employed in the heat exchangers. The present study investigates the heat transfer and frictional losses of cross flow tube bank with solid and perforated splitter plates. The experimental data are collected for bare tube bank, tube bank with solid and perforated splitter plate by varying the splitter plate width ratio (Rw) and the perforation index (Pi) in the Reynolds number range of 10,500–40,500. The cylindrical tube bank with perforated splitter plate having (Rw) of 0.5 and (Pi) of 1.5 yields maximum thermal and hydraulic performance.
