Abstract

This paper describes extenive computer-based analytical studies on the offset fin compact heat exchanger, which could assist thermal designers. In order to simulate the fin efficiency affected by the heat conduction from the condenser pipe to the fin, the numerical analysis was applied to a quasi-3-dimensional problem, using the 1 dimensional heat conduction analytical solution as a boundary condition. Using this calculation method, the heat transfer behavior of the offset fin heat exchanger for various fin numbers was examined.
