Abstract
In general, a lot of work on heat exchanger is successfully done; still a lot of work has to be done.In this proposed research work done to study the effects of Reynolds number, fin pitch and tube pitches on the overall Heat transfer and friction factor for wavy fin tube heat exchangers with large tube diameter.To compare the simulated case friction factor (f) and Colburn factor (j) with the experimental data of Bhuyian et al.2013.To compare in-line and staggered configurations.
