Thermal–hydraulic performance of fin-and-oval tube compact heat exchangers with innovative design of corrugated fin patterns

•Two new types of corrugated fins with one and three fluted domains were considered.•Conjugate heat transfer performance of corrugated fin-and-tube compact heat exchanger was studied.•Corrugated design of fin can bring about further heat transfer enhancement through careful adjustment.•For corrugate...
