Finned tubes bundle

[ione]

I know the Zukauskas’ correlation for bare tubes bundles, but I’m now looking for a correlation valid for forced convection across finned tubes bundles (staggered and in-line arrangement).

Thanks

Probably HTRI helps on it.

Refer "Fundamentals of Heat Exchanger Design" by R K Shah & D P Sekulic. I have found this book very useful, especially for extended surface coolers.

Ione,

You might also check with Finned Tube Tech in the Tulas area. They used to have the complete Escoa Design Manual available for download. No longer online. However, I think you might need to talk with someone there to get a copy. It's an excellent resource.

Thanks to all who have replied so far. I'll try to put my hands on the stuff mentioned. i've meanwhile gathered a couple of things myself and I'd like to share them with other members.
