Dear Ganga,
I am not a person of the HEAT EXCHANGER business; still, from what I had gathered, the difference lies in the matter that corrugated tube is the one made out of corrugated sheets. It increases the surface area and hence the heat transfer rate. By the logic of construction, it cannot be used for high pressures. Finned tube utilizes the principle of embedding the fins integrally with the exterior of the tube, thus establishing good conduction enhanced with increased surface area. There is no limit of applicability of pressure. It solely depends on the core tube. Hope this clarifies as a first round info. For details ask the specialists.
Regards.
C. V. Gangadharan.
