Abstract
Pressure drop experiments under no-heat-transfer conditions were performed on Offset Strip Fin surfaces having 36 different geometries. Data were taken on scaled-up test cores of approximately five times that of the actual heat exchangers. These cores consist of three groups having different strip lengths. Each of these groups further are divided into four smaller groups of different fin thicknesses, and each of these small groups have three different fin spacings. The empirical correlation obtained by these experiments show that the friction factors of the Offset Strip Fin surfaces are a function of the number of strips and the ratio of the fin thickness to the fin spacng. The result is directly applicable to the selection of optimum fin geometries.
