Comparative analysis between optimum configurations of finned tube heat exchanger: Application for solar drying

A comparative study is made between various optimized configurations of finned tube heat exchanger used to transfer thermal energy from a solar parabolic trough collector to a bench-scale dryer. The exchanger design relies on the logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) and conjugate direction...
