Abstract

Heat transfer is a surface phenomenon. Instead of straight hollow rectangular cross section tubes with heat transfer liquid passing through it, a triangular cross section tubes having the tip of the triangle facing front to receive the flow of air is the proposed new geometrical design. With minimum material maximum heat transfer as a whole is the aim of the new Radiator design.
