Simulation study of the influence of circular arc vortex generator size on the heat transfer characteristics of fin-and-tube heat exchanger

Abstract Vortex generators (VGs) are extensively utilized in refrigeration equipment to enhance heat transfer performance. This study investigates the geometric optimization of circular arc VGs for improving the thermal performance of fin-and-tube heat exchangers (FTHEs) through numerical simulation...
