Numerical and experimental analysis of the performance of staggered short pin-fin heat exchangers
A three dimensional finite element based numerical model was used to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of various staggered short pin-fin array heat exchangers. The simulation was validated against data from an experimental rig as well as historical data and then used to estimate the heat tr...
