Abstract

The present work examines the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics for turbulent flow in tubes having two different types of internal fins, one type had continuous internal longitudinal fins, in another type, tube had internal longitudinal inline fins interrupted in stream wise direction. Experiments were also performed in a tube having no internal fins, and the performance data of all three were compared. The tube and the fins were cast together to avoid any thermal contact resistance, heat was supplied from an electrical heating system, air was used as the working fluid in all experiments. Reynolds number calculated based on the inlet diameter and varied in the range of 1.8x10 4 to 3.94X10 4. Results indicate that for comparable Reynolds,
