A total of 11 cross-flow heat exchangers having wavy fin and flat tube were studied experimentally. A series of tests were conducted for air side Reynolds number in the range of 800–6500 with different fin pitches, fin lengths and fin heights, at a constant tube-side water flow rate of 2.5m3/h. The air side thermal performance data were analyzed using the effectiveness-NTU method. The characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop for different geometry parameters were reported in terms of Colburn j-factor and Fanning friction factor f, as a function of Re. The effects of fin pitch, fin height and fin length on the performance of heat transfer and pressure drop were examined. The general correlations for j and f factors were derived by multiple linear regression analysis and F test of significance. The correlations for j and f factors can predict 95% of the experimental data within ±10%.
