... of the heat removing device studied. Air ( Pr ≈ 0.71 ) was the refrigerant fluid chosen throughout the study in Ref. 5 ; the flow was laminar (Re less than 1500). In the present work, instead, water ( Pr ≈ 7.01 ,   T = 293.15   K ) has been chosen as a thermal...

... optimization of finned modules, differently shaped and combined, cooled by air in laminar flow and forced convection condition: Losses of pressure, together with heat removed, contribute to the final assessment made through a novel idea of performance based on the so called overall performance coefficient...
