... heat exchangers is affected by various parameters such as fin height, fin pitch, fin material, tube array, pitch ratio, fin type, fluid velocity etc. In this paper, an experimental investigation of fluid elastic instability in shell and tube heat exchangers is carried out by subjecting normal square...

... to water cross flow was analyzed experimentally. Aluminum tubes are preferred over steel tubes because of aluminum tubes' excellent corrosion resistance, ease of manufacture, and high thermal efficiency. Design/methodology/approach The fluid elastic instability and vortex shedding mechanisms...
