movement of fluid on a macroscopic scale in the form of
eddies or circulating currents.

TUBE BUNDLES /
BANK OF TUBES
Typical industrial application as in heat
exchangers
Bundles of tube improve heat transfer by
increasing the surface area
Bundles of tube are generally either
arranged in ALIGNED or STAGGERED
configuration.
