The use of turbulators in different forms of ribs, baffles, delta winglets, obstacles, vortex generator, rings and perforated blocks/baffles is an effective way to improve the performance of heat exchangers and solar air heaters. Investigators studied the effect of these turbulators for heat...

A two-dimensional cross-flow tube bank heat exchanger arrangement problem with internal laminar flow is considered in this work. The objective is to optimize the arrangement of tubes and find the most favorable geometries, in order to simultaneously maximize the rate of heat exchange while...
