PF strip-fin h
Missing image: pf_strip-fin_h.bmp
The procedure:
CHX_h_PF_strip_fin(TypeHX$, m_dot, A_fr_tot, b_2, Fluid$, T, P:h)
provides the heat transfer coefficient associated with a plain-fin, strip fin compact heat exchanger surface. These data are from Kays and London (1994).

m_dot: mass flow rate (kg/s or lbm/hr)
A_fr_tot: total frontal area as viewed by the flow approaching the tube bank (m^2 or ft^2); note that this includes both the pin fin channels and the space occupied by the other channels
b_2: the width between adjacent pin fin channels occupied by the other channels (m or ft)
Fluid$: string indicating the fluid type
T: temperature of the fluid (K, C, R, or F)
P: absolute pressure of the fluid (Pa, kPa, bar. MPa, atm, or psi)
Output
h: heat transfer coefficient (W/m^2-K or Btu/hr-ft^2-R) averaged over entire fin surface (includes plates)
