Thermo-fluid performance of internal finned tube
Mishra, Dipti Prasad / Mohapatra, Kailash
CFD analysis has been done to predict the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of smooth, internally finned and ribbed tubes for various flow conditions to compute the wall temperature, outlet temperature and Nusselt number. Wall temperature and Nusselt number as a function of optimum fin height, fin numbers, fin shape, duct shape and rib shape have been predicted to obtain maximum heat transfer to air flowing inside the tube.
