Experimental Study on the Performance of Plane Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger Made of Different Materials
In the current research of fin-tube heat exchanger
thermal contact resistance is rarely considered
or it is included in the air side heat transfer resistance. In this paper
the influence of materials of tubes and fins on the thermal contact resistance is studied. The heat transfer performance of four fin-tube heat exchangers made of different materials is investigated experimentally
and the general correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics are obtained in the Reynolds number range commonly encountered in engineering. It is found that in the Reynolds number range of 1 300-4 500
the Nusselt number of air across the copper-nickel-iron alloy tube-aluminum fins is 28%-40% greater than that of 304 stainle
ss steel tube-aluminum fins. For the same manufacturing technology and fin material
the thermal contact resistance of pipes made of 304 stainless steel is 4.53×10

more than that of copper-nickel-iron alloy. The measurement uncertainty of this experiment is 7.28%
and the thermal contact resistance is reliable
which can be used in engineering design.
