FIRNED TUBE EXCHANGER
4IM: To dsteronne the overall heat transter coofficient in finned tube heat exchanger
INTRODUCTION:
The cost of the rat exchanger is directiy proportional to the heat transfer area, which
Is inversely prope tonal to the overall heat transfer coeffcient for a given heat transfer
rate Hence, des an ong1neer shall always try to keep ngh overall heat transfer
coeff:cient. Finnes iuba oxchanger is one such effort
