Experimental Investigation of the Applied Performance of Several typical Enhanced Tubes

摘要

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the applied performance of the four typical enhanced tubes and parameters such as flow pressure drop, the friction factor, enhanced heat transfer, and anti-fouling performance. The results show that each enhanced tube has certain features. The arc line tube has the greatest friction factor, whereas the corrugated tube has the highest average energy efficiency and the best anti-fouling performance, etc. In addition, these enhanced tubes have better anti-fouling performance in comparison with the corresponding plain tube.
