This investigation deals with the performance prediction of the cross flow air cooled circular fin tube heat exchanger. Experimental and theoretical studies were conducted to perform the optimization of the thermal design of the heat exchanger. The experimental work was carried out by two different types of air cooled heat exchangers i.e. with fin heat exchanger and without fin heat exchanger. An experimental rig was built for this object which provides hot water with different water circulating rate. A centrifugal blower was installed as a major part of the experimental rig to provide atmospheric air with different velocities. Result indicates that the effectiveness increases with increasing of air velocity.
