The use of smaller diameter tube, smaller longitudinal tube pitch, and smaller transverse tube pitch in plate fin-and-tube heat exchangers is becoming popular.
“As pointed out by Wang et al. [1], the use of smaller diameter tube, smaller longitudinal tube pitch, and smaller transverse tube pitch in plate fin-and-tube heat exchangers are becoming popular since it could significantly improve the thermal/hydraulics characteristics and saving resources.”

The mean deviation of the Gray and Webb correlation in predicting the database of Wang and Chi [1] is over 25%.
“Actually, the mean deviation of the Gray and Webb correlation in predicting the database of Wang and Chi [1] is over 25%, and the predictive errors to the friction factors are even higher.”

Using smaller tubes can achieve higher heat transfer coefficients, lower pressure drops, and less refrigerant charge, leading to more compact fin-and-tube heat exchangers design.
“This is because higher heat transfer coe cients, lower pressure drops, and less refrigerant charge can be achieved by using smaller tubes, and eventually led to much more compact fin-and-tube heat exchangers design (see the test results by Wang et al. [1]).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
