【Abstract】 With the help of the description methods in graph theory and the adaptive adjustment method, a steady sate simulation model for fin-and-tube heat exchanger with complex circuit arrangement was developed.This model could provide better compatibility and accuracy for the design of heat exchanger with complex circuit arrangement.Using this model, six typical fin-and-tube heat exchangers with different circuit arrangements were analyzed.The counter flow arrangement could not always achieve the best performance.With appropriate compound arrangement, the performance of heat exchanger could be improved by 2%—4%.更多还原
