To obtain a fin tube heat exchanger which can both ensure the heat transfer effect and reduce the flow resistance as low as possible
the flow and heat transfer characteristics of wavy fin-and-tube and wavy fin with uniform declined wavy height was numerically simulated.The local average Nusselt number and pressure drop of wavy fin with different wavy heights
and the average Nusselt number and pressure drop of wavy fin with different wavy heights at different Renolds number were analyzed.The results show that the comprehensive heat transfer performance of wavy fin with uniform declined wavy height under identical pressure drop condition and identical pumping power condition are superior to that of the wavy fin with wavy height of 2.0mm.The wavy fin with uniform declined wavy height not only ensured well heat transfer performance but also decreased the pressure drop during flow.
