Numerical Analysis of Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer in Internally Finned Tubes

In this study, single-phase heat transfer enhancement in internally finned tubes is investigated numerically. The influence of fin number, helix angle, fin height, fin width, and shape on the flow and heat transfer characteristics is studied. The research results indicate that the resistance coeffic...
