%0 Journal Article %T Procedure for Calculating Circuits in the Modeling of Flow in fin-and-tube Heat Exchangers %A David Fuentes D¨ªaz %A Edwin C¨®rdoba Tuta %J - %D 2015 %R https://doi.org/10.17230/ingciencia.11.21.6 %X This paper presents a general method for simulating the flow behavior in the fin-and-tube heat exchangers with high flexibility in handling the information. This procedure is based on the use of Object-Oriented Programming and specifically using C++, this because of all the advantages of this type of programming. Data entry is carried out by files, so that third-party programs can generate configuration and permit calculation in parametric form. The results for the analysis are presented in three different formats: comma separated value (CSV), structured plain text and self-documenting (XML) and a graphical display of results (VTK) %K circuits %K heat exchangers %K finned tubes %K graphs %K modeling %K simulation %U http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ingciencia/article/view/2425
