Nonlinear lumped parameter transient model of single-row finned-tube liquid-to-gas cross-flow heat exchanger
A nonlinear lumped parameter transient model of single-row finned-tube liquid-to-gas cross-flow heat exchanger is examined numerically. The dimensionless liquid, metal, and gas outlet temperatures are examined for different dimensionless conductance and capacitance ratios. This article also describes a useful tool that can be used to enhance students' capability to analyze thermodynamic systems with heat exchangers.  2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
