Abstract

A literature overview includes comments and comparison with existing correlations. The influence of the contact resistance of the tube-to-fin bond in plate finned tubes heat exchangers is discussed. A listing of unresolved issues regarding the thermal contact resistance of plate finned heat exchangers is given in order to guide future research efforts on this topic.
