The longitudinal plate is termed as an integral wake splitter. Investigations on hydrodynamic characteristics of tube banks with integral wake splitter were carried out in cross flow of air in a rectangular duct at a Reynolds number of 15950. The integral wake splitter length-to-tube-diameter ratios studied were 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. The tube bank consisting of 12 rows and 3 tubes per row in equilateral triangular arrangement with a transverse pitch to diameter ratio, a = 2. The results obtained were compared to the experimental data of Seri et al. (2014). It is observed that the addition of the integral wake splitter reduces the overall pressure drop. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84921633262&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.660.649&partnerID=40&md5=7573055aaf21a3019dcfccdc6a8e3b21 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.660.649 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 660 pagerange: 649-653 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038352785; 9783038352785 issn: 16609336 citation: Bin Md Seri, S. and Bin Abdul Karim, Z.A. and Bin Salleh, H. and Mohideen Batcha, M.F. and Raghavan, V.R.
