The analysis had experimental and computational form and was aimed for evaluation of radiative heat transfer impact on the heat exchanger performance. The main element of the test facility was an enlarged recurrent segment of the heat exchanger under consideration. The main results of measurements are heat transfer rates, as well as temperature distributions on the surface of the first fin obtained by using the infrared camera. The experimental results have been next compared to computational ones coming from a numerical model of the test station. The model has been elaborated using computational fluid dynamics software. The computations have been accomplished for two cases: without radiative heat transfer and taking this phenomenon into account. Evaluation of the radiative heat transfer impact in considered system has been done by comparing all the received results.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Analysis of radiative heat transfer impact in cross-flow tube and fin heat exchangers}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/105666/PDF/07_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aoter-2016-0007}, keywords={heat exchangers, radiative heat transfer, numerical model, experimental validation}, }
