Enhancement of Heat Exchanger Performance by the Extended Surfaces-Fins Piyush Kumar Kashyap 1, priyanka jhavar 2 1 sri satya sai, College of engineering& science, Sheore, 466001 Abstract: 2 sri satya sai, College of engineering& science, Sheore, 466001 The heat exchanger performance enhancement obtained in this way allows the compression of newly tested heat transfer surfaces and also the consideration of various performance constraints and parameters of fins (extended surfaces). The primary task of fins employed in highly effective heat exchanger is to increase the heat transfer surfaces and heat transfer coefficient. Depending of the constraints and performance make to suitable the comparison of the performance of entire heat exchangers in their actual state or of the heat transfer surfaces only. The objective of present work is to find the comparison of entire heat exchanger performance by the implementation of different type of finned surfaces accordance to the constraints and performance parameters. The applicability of such comparison for the selection of heat transfer surfaces among the large number of heat transfer surfaces for which the basic heat transfer and other performance characteristics such as pressure drop, Heat transfer coefficient is known also highly desirable. Therefore as one of the major aims of the present work is developed, demonstration and testing of performance comparison method that meets the above specified objectives Key words: Heat Exchanger, Heat Transfer Surfaces, Extended Surface, Fins. 1. Introduction: In any heat exchanger form, the heat is transferred by all three basic forms: conduction, convection and radiation simultaneously. The intensity of heat conduction is not a challenging problem as usually it can be controlled by the material chosen to build the heat exchanger and modification and suitable utilization of extended area-fins. Based on Newton s law of cooling, convective heat transfer can be calculated as the product of the heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer surface area and temperature difference between the wall and fluid. The wall to fluid temperature difference is usually adjusted oneself based on the operating conditions and therefore it cannot be used to enhance the heat transfer rate. Hence in order to achieve a high heat transfer rate, one can increase the heat transfer surface area or the heat transfer coefficient, or both of them simultaneously [1]. It was already discussed by the many researchers in last some previous years that interrupted fins in the form of strip or louvered fins provide both a heat transfer surface area increase and heat transfer coefficient increase. Therefore, these are particularly effective in obtaining high heat transfer rates. The mechanism which leads to high heat transfer coefficients of such fins is the periodic interruption of the boundary layer around the fins and in this way also achieving better mixing of fluid streams with different temperatures. Otherwise the heat transfer surface area increase is achieved by a dense population of the bare surface with such fins and by selecting various types of extended surfacesfins such as plate fins, pin fins, wavy fins, louvered fins and offset strip fins. Similar effects can be expected also in pin fin arrays. Hence they may be considered as a special kind of interrupted fins, although they are not obtained by cutting of continuous fins such as in the case of strip or louvered fins. The analytical and experimental study of the heat transfer enhancement obtained by employing pins was the first objective of the present work. 1.1 Heat Exchanger: A heat exchanger is a device which is used to transfer thermal energy between two or more fluids, between a solid surface and a fluid, or between solid particulates and a fluid, at different temperatures and in thermal contact. Not only are heat exchangers often used in the process, power, petroleum, airconditioning, refrigeration, cryogenic, heat recovery, alternative fuel, and manufacturing industries, they also serve as key components of many industrial products available in the market. The heat exchangers can be classified in several ways such as, according to the, number of fluids, heat transfer mechanism and ISSN: 2231-5381 http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 260

by type of fins such as tube and wavy fin heat exchanger, louvered fin heat exchanger etc [1]. 1.2 Heat Transfer Surfaces: The heat transfer surface is a surface of the exchanger core that is in direct contact with fluids and through which heat is transferred by conduction. That portion of the surface that is in direct contact with both the hot and cold fluids and transfers heat between them is referred to as the primary or direct surface. To increase the heat transfer area, appendages may be intimately connected to the primary surface to provide an extended, secondary, or indirect surface [2]. These extended surface elements are referred to as fins. Thus, heat is conducted through the fin and convected (and/or radiated) from the fin (through the surface area) to the surrounding fluid, or vice versa, depending on whether the fin is being cooled or heated. As a result, the addition of fins to the primary surface reduces the thermal resistance on that side and thereby increases the total heat transfer from the surface for the same temperature difference. Fins may form flow passages for the individual fluids but do not separate the two (or more) fluids of the exchanger. These secondary surfaces or fins may also be introduced primarily for structural strength purposes or to provide thorough mixing of a highly viscous liquid. Extended or finned surfaces increase the heat transfer area which could be very effective in case of fluids with low heat transfer coefficients. This technique includes finned tube for shell & tube exchangers, plate fins for compact heat exchanger and finned heat sinks for electronic cooling. 1.3 Fins& Finned Surfaces: Fins are surface extensions widely used in different types of heat exchangers for increasing the rate of heat transfer among a solid surface and surrounding fluid. Often geometrically modified fins are incorporated, which besides increasing the surface area density of the heat exchanger, also improve the convection heat transfer coefficient. Some examples of such enhanced surface compact cores include Offset-strip fins, Louvered fins, Wavy fins, Plain fins and Pin fins [3]. Finned surfaces enhanced heat transfer in natural or forced convection which can be used for cooling of electrical and electronic devices. The use of extended surfaces for cooling electronic devices is not restricted to the natural convection heat transfer regime but also can be used for forced convective heat transfer. Fins promote boundary layer separation and restarting of the boundary layer increases the heat transfer rate. Plate fin or tube and plate fin type of compact heat exchangers, where the finned surfaces provide a very large surface area density, are used increasingly in many automotive, waste heat recovery, refrigeration and air conditioning, cryogenic, propulsion system and other heat recuperative applications, a variety of finned surfaces typically used include plate fins, pin fins, offset strip fins, louvered fins and wavy fins. 1.4 Plate Fins: This type of extended surface heat exchanger has corrugated fins mostly of triangular or rectangular cross-sections sandwiched between the parallel plates as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Basic components of a plate fin heat exchanger The fins may also be incorporated in a flat tube with rounded corners. The parting sheet is usually replaced by a flat tube in the case of liquid or phase change fluid flows on the other side. Fins are die or roll formed and is attached to the plates by brazing, soldering, adhesive bonding, welding, mechanical fit, or extrusion. Plate-fins are categorized as: (1) plain i.e. uncut and straight fins, such as plain triangular and rectangular fins, (2) plain but wavy fins, and (3) interrupted fins etc. 1.5 Pin Fins: Over the years pin fins have been used as elements for effective heat transfer in various applications where space and weight are important constraints such as in the power plant industry for cooling of gas turbine blades, in the electronics industry for cooling of electronic components and recently also in the hot water boilers of central heating systems. Thus the thermal and fluid dynamic characteristics of flow over pin fins have been the interest of numerous investigators. The major advantage of pin fins is their higher heat transfer coefficient compared with that of other highperformance fins. However, this provides a cross- ISSN: 2231-5381 http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 261

section of pins which is of the same order of magnitude as the cross-section of other fin types. Taking into account the dimensions of strip, wavy or louvered fins (~1mm), it comes out that a reasonable application of pins in heat Exchangers applied in the air conditioning and automobile industries can be expected with pins of d < 0.5 mm. 1.6 Wavy Fins: Wavy fins are widely used in the air conditioning, refrigeration and process industries. Generally, heat exchanger containing wavy fins can be encountered in gas to gas and liquid to gas heat transfer applications. In the practical application of wavy fins there are two type often utilized, namely herringbone and smooth wavy. Heat transfer enhancement in wavy fin heat exchangers is achieved by extension of the flow passage and breaking of the boundary layer owing to periodic changes of the flow direction and eventual flow impingement on to the neighboring fin surface[4]. 1.7 Offset Strip Fins: Offset strip fins are one of the most widely used elements for heat transfer enhancement in the aircraft, cryogenics, and many other industries that do not require mass production. Offset strip fin surfaces belongs to the highest heat transfer performance surfaces. Their heat transfer coefficient is 1.5 to 4 times those of plain fins. 1.8 Louvered Fins: In compact heat exchanger very important forms of elements for heat transfer enhancement are singleand multi-louvered Fins. These are basically used in radiators, heaters, evaporators and condensers in the automotive industry, where the space and weight are two major constraints. The availability of high-speed production techniques, consequently being less expensive than other interrupted fins, is an additional reason for their wide usage. By providing multiple edge and flow deflection and partial flow impingement, they are associated with higher heat transfer coefficients than those for offset strip fins. Although the friction factor increase is greater than the heat transfer increase, the heat exchangers can be designed for higher heat transfer and the same pressure drop compared with those with offset strip fins by proper selection of the exchanger frontal area, core depth, and fin density. Louvered fin geometry can be considered as a combination of wavy and strip fin geometry. 2. FINS PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS: In previous sections, it was pointed that for the enhancement of convective heat transfer, fins provide the most effective elements. Regardless of the fin geometry, an exact theoretical analysis of their heat transfer mode is in most practical cases not possible. The large variety of fins used up to now can be grouped as longitudinal, radial and in pin fins[5]. There are long list of assumptions for analysis for fins some of these assumptions, such as The thermal conductivity of the fin material is constant. The heat transfer coefficient is the same over the entire fin surface. The temperature at the base of the fin is uniform. The heat transfer through the tip of the fin is negligible compared with the heat leaving its lateral surface. The fin thickness is so small compared with its length that temperature gradients normal to the surface may be neglected. 3. Literature Survey: The heat transfer enhancement methods reported in publications be systemized in many forms but primarily they may be grouped as passive and active enhancement methods. The basis of any active heat transfer enhancement technique lies in the utilization of some external power in order to permit the mixing of working fluids, the rotation of heat transfer surfaces, the vibration of heat transfer surfaces or of the working fluids and the generation of electrostatic fields. Extended surfaces i.e. fins are considered as passive enhancement methods. The major heat transfer enhancement techniques that have found widely spread commercial application are those which possess heat transfer enhancement elements. All passive techniques aim for the same, namely to achieve higher values of the product of heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer surface area. The most effective heat transfer enhancement can be achieved by using fins as elements for heat transfer surface area extension. Plate fin, tube fin and rotary regenerators are widely encountered compact heat exchangers in the industry. Fins can be die- or rollformed and are attached to the plates by brazing, soldering, adhesive bonding, welding, mechanical fit, or extrusion. Fins may be used on both sides in gasto-gas heat exchangers. In gas-to-liquid applications, fins are usually used only on the gas side[6]. Plate ISSN: 2231-5381 http://www.ijettjournal.org Page 262

fins are categorized as plain and straight fins, such as plain triangular and rectangular fins, plain but wavy fins, plain but perforated fins and interrupted fins such as offset strip or louvered fins[7]. The compactness of the heat exchanger is related to the population density of the heat exchanger volume with heat transfer enhancement elements. Kays and London (1964) [8] were among the first to investigate such fins experimentally and provide their basic heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics. Similar investigations have been performed in more recent years by several groups such as Wang et al. (1997), Abu Madi et al. (1998), Stasiek (1998) and Lozza and Merlo (2001). The fluid dynamic and heat transfer characteristics of louvered fin heat exchangers have been studied intensively by numerous groups perhaps starting with the work of London and Ferguson (1949). The large variety of fins used up to now can be grouped as longitudinal, radial and in pin fins. A relatively long list of assumptions should be provided in order the one-dimensional analysis of fins with a constant cross-section to be applicable in a particular situation. The first basic heat transfer and flowfriction data for pin fin surfaces were derived by Norris and Spofford (1942). The experiments were carried out with the aim of the derivation of basic parameters of forced convection heat transfer for continuous, corrugated, strip and pin fins. In a later work, Kays (1955) performed probably the most extensive study of pin fins as elements for heat transfer enhancement. He presented test data for four in-line pin arrangements and one staggered arrangement. It was demonstrated that owing to a high area to perimeter ratio, pin fins provide one method for obtaining very high heat transfer coefficients while at the same time maintaining high fin effectiveness [9]. In a recent study, Short et al. (2003a, b) conducted an experimental study to derive basic heat Transfer and friction data for cast pin fins for cold walls used in electronic applications. They carried out experiments on a staggered pin arrangement in a wide range of geometric configurations and Reynolds numbers. 4. Result and Discussion: In the introduction section, basic method of heat transfer enhancement and their operating principles were discussed. It was pointed out that most effective methods employ fins with appropriate length, geometry and material characteristics according to the specific application. The primary task of the fins employed in highly effective heat exchangers is to increase the heat transfer surface and heat transfer coefficient. Furthermore, the flow distribution and mixing of fluid streams with different temperatures are much better and hence the heat transfer from fins into fluid or vice versa is quite effective. There exist many different types of such fins, but most popular are wavy, strip and louvered fins. Wavy fins are widely used in the air conditioning, refrigeration and process industries. Generally, heat exchanger containing wavy fins can be encountered in gas to gas and liquid to gas heat transfer applications. The gasliquid heat exchangers consist of parallel spaced tubes through which water, oil, or refrigerant is forced to flow while air flows across the outside of the tube surface and between the fins. Usually these are known as tube and wavy fin heat exchangers. Gas-gas heat exchangers containing this type of fins are built using several plates separating the gas streams and wavy fins between the plates. Their usual notation is plate and wavy fin heat exchangers. In the practical application of wavy channels, two variants are often utilized, namely herringbone and smooth wavy. Heat transfer enhancement in wavy fin heat exchangers is achieved by extension of the flow passage (more heat transfer surface), breaking of the boundary layer owing to periodic changes of the flow direction. The performance comparison of the extended surfaces (fins) are formed in the tabular form as like result of proposed work containing different constraints such as coefficient of heat transfer, enhancement techniques of heat transfer by fins and their moderate application. Fins performance parameters are also described in the previous section of the present work. That parameters are cover most important properties of heat transfer which are affected to the heat exchanger performance and efficiency. These parameters are thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient, temperature, geometry utilization of fins and fins thickness and its length variation are also considered.

Conclusion: However, the availability of the data for a large variety of elements for different heat exchanger surfaces is of small benefit unless proper methods to compare the final performance of such surfaces are provided for used fins in the heat exchanger. The objective of development of such comparative methods should result in the selection of a surface or enhancement element that would lead to the most effective heat exchanger within the given constraints. The comparison are try to make as simple as possible but fins performance parameters are taken into account with confidence that the surface selected by the selected comparison method will meet the requirements of the heat exchanger under operating conditions. Various comparison methods, known as the performance evaluation criteria (PEC) have been developed in the past while seeking appropriate heat exchanger selection procedures. In order to simplify the analysis but in our proposed work the PEC usually considered the heat exchanger surface enhancing the heat transfer rate and fins performance parameters. The review of such PEC, including assumptions about fins and their advantages, disadvantages and basic relationships. Other aspects which might influence the selection of heat exchangers, such as, maintenance, reliability, safety, costs, etc., were not considered in the present work. Only then one can select the heat exchanger surface according to the intended application with the required confidence that the predicted performance will match the heat exchanger characteristics under the operating conditions. In the present work, a literature survey was carried out of the methods used for the comparison of heat exchanger performances and silent feature and previous work on the enhancement of the heat transfer by heat exchanger. The knowledge based on present work can be mostly use for the selection of the extended area for the different type of heat exchanger and also make to compare fins such as plate fins, pin fins, wavy fins, offset strip fins and louvered fins with the fins performance parameters.
