Abstract

A heat exchanger includes a first header including a fluid inlet, a second header positioned downstream of the first header with respect to a first internal fluid flow path of a first fluid and including a fluid outlet, and a core extending from the first header to the second header. The core includes a plurality of flow-modifying core tubes that are shaped, angled, and/or arranged to modify flow through the heat exchanger along a second external fluid flow path. The plurality of flow-modifying core tubes includes airfoil tubes with corresponding airfoil cross-sections.
