Abstract: In this paper, we mainly discussed the application of the porous media and distributed resistance model in the software of Fluent in numerical simulation of V-shaped fin-tube heat exchanger. Using this model to simulate the air maldistribution, and compare it with the experimental result. Then we can evaluate the heat transfer performance using the software of EVAP-COND and Coildesigner, and optimize the circuit layout of the fin-tube heat exchanger.
