A Numerical Study of Forced Convection Heat Transfer Over a Series of Flat Tubes Between Parallel Plates

This paper presents the numerical study of the two-dimensional forced convection heat transfer across three in-line flat tubes confined in a channel the flow under incompressible, steady-state conditions. This system is solved in the body fitted coordinates (BFC) using the finite volume method (FVM)...
