Experimental Investigation on Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Air Flow over a Staggered Flat Tube Bank in Crossflow

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of air flow in a staggered flat tube bank in crossflow with laminarforced convection. Measurements were conducted for sixteen tubes in the direction of flow and four tubes...
