Plain plate-fin, surface 5.30
Procedure Compact_HX_ND('p_plate-fin_s530', Re: f,j_H) is a non-dimensional procedure that returns the friction factor and the Colburn j factor for external flow through plain plate-fins with surface 5.3 given the Reynolds number. The values calculated are based on a best fit curve to experimental data. These data are from Kays and London (1984) p. 226.
