Abstract
Vortex generators in the form of delta winglet pairs have already been proposed by many researchers for enhancement of the heat transfer rate in plate-fin heat exchangers. In this work, the enhancement potential of triangular fins (which are widely used inserts between the plates of the plate-fin heat exchanger) having delta winglets mounted on their slant surfaces has been computed. The performance of this combination is evaluated for varying angles of attack of the winglet and different thermal boundary conditions. The performance of the combination of triangular fins and winglets with stamping on the slant surfaces also has been evaluated.
