3 Surfaces with flow normal to banks of smooth tubes Unlike the radial low fin
tubes, smooth round tubes are expanded into fins that can accept a number oftube
rows, as shown in Fig 11.16a Holes may be stamped in the fin with a drawn hub or
foot to improve contact resistance or as a spacer between successive fins, as shown, or brazed directly to the fin with or without a hub Other types reduce the flow resistance
outside the tubes by using flattened tubes and brazing, as indicated in Fig 11.16b and c Flat tubing is made from strips similar to the manufacture of welded circular
tubing but is much thinner and is joined by soldering or brazing rather than welding

The designation considers staggered (S) and in-line (I) arrangements oftubes and identifies transverse and longitudinal pitch ratios The suffix (s) indicates data correla-tion from steady-state tests All other data were correlated from a transient technique
Examples include the surface S1.50-1.25(s), which is a staggered arrangement with data obtained via steady-state tests with transverse pitch-to-diameter ratio of1.50 and longitudinal pitch-to-diameter ratio of1.25 The surface I1.25-1.25 has an in-line arrangement with data obtained from transient tests with both transverse and longitudinal pitch-to-diameter ratios of1.25
4 Plate fin surfaces These are shown in Figs 11.16d through i.
(a) The plain fin is characterized by long uninterrupted flow passages and is
designated by a numeral that indicates the number offins per inch The suffix
T is appended when the passages are ofdefinite triangular shape Examples are the surfaces 19.86, 15.08, and 46.45T
(b) The louvered fin is characterized by fins that are cut and bent into the flow
stream at frequent intervals and is designated by a fraction which indicates the length ofthe fin in the flow direction (inches) followed by a numeral that indicates the number offins per inch For example, the designation
1
2− 6.06
indicates 6.06 1
2-in.-long fins per inch
(c) The strip fin is designated in the same manner as the louvered fin The suffixes
(D) and (T) indicate double and triple stacks The strip fins are frequently
referred to as offset fins because they are offset at frequent intervals and the
exchanger is essentially a series ofplate fins with alternate lengths offset
(d) The wavy fin is characterized by a continuous curvature The change in flow
direction introduced by the waves in the surface tends to interrupt the boundary layer, as in the case oflouvered and strip fins Wavy fin designations are always followed by the letter W For example, the
11.44 −3
8W
is a wavy fin with 11.44 fins per inch and a 38-in wave
(e) The pin fin surface is constructed from small-diameter wires This surface
yields very high heat transfer coefficients because the effective flow length
is very small The designation ofthe pin fin surfaces is nondescriptive
(f) The perforated fin surface has holes cut in the fins to provide boundary layer
interruption These fins are designated by the number offins per inch followed
by the letter P
5 Finned-tube surfaces Circular tubes with spiral radial fins are designated by
the letters CF followed by one or two numerals The first numeral designates the number offins per inch, and the second (ifone is used) refers to the nominal tube size With circular tubes with continuous fins, no letter prefix is employed and the

two numerals have the same meaning as those used for circular tubes with spiral radial fins For finned flat tubes, no letter prefix is used; the first numeral indicates the fins per inch and the second numeral indicates the largest tube dimension When
CF does not appear in the designation ofthe circular tube with spiral radial fins, the surface may be presumed to have continuous fins
6 Matrix surfaces These are surfaces that are used in rotating, regenerative
equip-ment such as combustion flue gas–air preheaters for conventional fossil furnaces In this application, metal is deployed for its ability to absorb heat with minimal fluid friction while exposed to hot flue gas and to give up this heat to incoming cold com-bustion air when it is rotated into the incoming cold airstream No designation is employed
11.5.3 Geometrical Factors and Physical Data
Compact heat exchanger surfaces are described in the literature by geometric factors that have been standardized largely through the extensive work ofKays and London (1984) These factors and the relationships between them are essential for application
of the basic heat transfer and flow friction data to a particular design problem They are listed and defined in Table 11.1 Physical data for a number of compact heat exchanger surfaces are given in Table 11.2 Relationships between the geometric factors in Table 11.1 will now be established
Consider an exchanger composed ofn1layers ofone type ofplate fin surface and
n2 layers ofa second type, as shown in Fig 11.13 The separation plate thickness
is established by the pressure differential to which it is exposed or through designer discretion Retaining the subscripts 1 and 2 for the respective types of surface, the overall exchanger heightH is
whereb1 andb2 are separation distances between the plates for the two kinds of surface With the widthW and depth D selected, the overall volume V is
In Fig 11.15, the lengthL1is along the depth ofthe exchanger (L1 = D) and the
lengthL2is along the width (L2= W).
The frontal areas are also established Again referring to Fig 11.13, we have
If the entire exchanger consisted of a single exchanger surface, surface 1 or surface
2, the total surface area would be the product ofthe ratio oftotal surface to total
