Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer Augmentation in a Fin Tube Heat Exchanger Using Rectangular Winglet

Rectangular winglet is to be used to enhance Performance Evaluation Criteria of a Heat Exchanger. Heat Transfer enhancement augmentation process is to be done by several methods but one of the best method is by using a winglet. The experiment is to be done on the Wind Tunnel Test Rig. Based on this experiment, readings are to be taken with and without Rectangular winglet. After both the readings of with and without Rectangular winglet a comparison between the usage of Rectangular winglet and without the usage of Rectangular winglet is to be done on the basis of factors of Heat transfer i.e Colburn Factor, Performance Evaluation Criteria and Friction Factor. Performance Evaluation Criteria for both with and without Rectangular winglet is to be find out and is to be compared to find out the maximum Performance Evaluation Criteria. During the experimental research the Performance Evaluation Criteria with Rectangular winglet is maximum at Air Velocity 6 i.e 9.466069 and the Performance Evaluation Criteria without Rectangular winglet is maximum at Air Velocity 6 i.e 4.806861
