Colburnj factor and Fanning friction factorf are predicted for wavy fin. The correlations are developed at Reynolds number range of 100-15,000. The effect of fin geometry （fin spacing, fin height, wave height and wave length） on the enhanced heat transfer and pressure drops are investigated. Results show that there is no significant variation off factor for water and liquid R134a at constant Reynolds number. However variations inj factor were observed at constant Reynolds number. Colburnj factor and Fanning friction factorfcorrelations are proposed in terms of Re and geometry parameters （h/s, a/s, L/a） for water and liquid refrigerant R134a in the present study. Two separate equations are proposed for the low and high Re regions i.e. between Re of 100-1,000 and Re of 1,000-15,000.展开更多
