Sažetak
A new geometric form of fins (needle fins) for finned heat exchangers of gas-liquid type is described. It achieves a higher heat transfer coefficient and lower mass of the heat exchange surface relative to the heat exchangers with circular fins which in this case served as a basis for comparison. For the analysis of the heat transfer, the computational fluid dynamics analysis with ANSYS Fluent software was applied. Numerical simulation was performed for the round fins and fins with a new, innovative geometric shape at air flow speeds of 1 m/s to 5 m/s. The results of numerical simulations, with regard to the exchanged heat and pressure drop were verified by the correlations available in the literature and compared to the simulation results for tubes with innovative fins. Results show an increase in the amount of Nu from 20 % to 30 % for 2300 >Re > 12000 while reducing mass of heat exchange surfaces of 23,8 %.
