Hello Omar, Thank you for your inquiry. Can you please refer to the lines in the code. Thank you
For:
Line 482, Taking N+1 spacing would depend on the staggered configuration, not necessarily (N+1)
Height = P_t * (Ntubes_bank+1) #Height of heat exchanger [m] # assuming that fin extends 1/2 pt above/below last tube in bundle
Lines 227, 228, 229 Here is a plot of the correlation against Re
Omar,
1- Your justification makes sense. Can you PR after making all the changes? 2-Correlations always have limitations and that why sometimes you need to tune the model. This correlation was based on Wang et al. (1998) (https://doi.org/10.2514/2.6354). If you have any recent correlation that is more accurate, we will be happy to update the model.
Thank you
Dr. Ammar,
Thanks for your fast response.
In FinCorrelations file, there are 2 issues:
This is not accurate as there is (N-1) spacings between the tubes, and assuming (2*0.5) additional spacing on the ends would make the total number is (N) not (N+1)
