TY - JOUR AU - Soliman, H. M. AB - An analytical solution for the temperature distribution and Nusselt number during fully developed laminar flow in internally finned tubes is obtained taking into consideration the realistic situation of fins with finite thermal conductivities. Axially uniform heat flux and circumferentially uniform temperature are assumed at the outer surface of the tube. For any tube geometry, it was found that the heat transfer characteristics are influenced by a single parameter K, which is directly related to the angle subtended by the fin, and the thermal conductivities of the fluid and the fin material. Nusselt numbers corresponding to different values of K are presented for a range of tube geometries TI - The effect of fin conductance on laminar heat transfer characteristics of internally finned tubes JF - The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering DO - 10.1002/cjce.5450590218 DA - 1981-04-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/the-effect-of-fin-conductance-on-laminar-heat-transfer-characteristics-Trhb0dvZey SP - 251 EP - 256 VL - 59 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
