In present work, comparison of three different tube bundles for particular heat exchanger is proposed. Three types are smooth, micro finned and corrugated tubes. Heat exchanger will be designed with smooth tube bundle and simulated. Micro fin and corrugation over tube is applied separately for same heat exchanger in feasible size and simulated for performance. Besides, comparison is done with heat transfer rate and pressure drop.
