The design of micro-finned tube heat exchangers is a complex task due to intricate geometry, heat transfer goals, material selection, and manufacturing challenges. Nowadays, mathematical models provide valuable insights, aid in optimization, and allow us to explore various design parameters efficiently. However, existing empirical models often fall short in facilitating an optimal design because of their limited accuracy, sensitivity to assumption, and context dependency. In this scenario, the use of Machine and Deep Learning (ML and DL) methods can enhance accuracy, manage nonlinearity, adjust to varying conditions, decrease dependence on assumptions, automatically extract pertinent features, and provide scalability. Indeed, ML and DL techniques can derive valuable insights from datasets, contributing to a comprehensive understanding. By means of multiple ML and DL methods, this paper addresses the challenge of estimating key parameters in micro-finned tube heat exchangers such as the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and frictional pressure drop (FPD). The methods have been trained and tested using an experimental dataset consisting of over a thousand data points associated with flow condensation, involving various tube geometries. In this context, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) demonstrates superior performance in accurately estimating parameters with MAEs in the range below 4.5% for both HTC and FPD. Finally, recognizing the importance of comprehending the internal mechanisms of the black-box ANN model, the paper explores its interpretability aspects.
