Abstract

A numerical study has been conducted to investigate the effect of tube arrangement on the heat transfer and the pressure loss for cross flow heat exchangers. By defining a transverse deviation factor, ${\varepsilon}_t=l_T/S_T$, the flow pattern and the heat transfer characteristics are compared for selected ${\varepsilon}_t$ values of 0.0(in-lined), 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5(staggered) by using a commercial software. Computational domain includes 1 pitch in the transverse direction and 5 pitches in the flow direction with due periodic boundary conditions.
