An assessment of fin-tube thermal contact resistance in round-tube-plain-fin heat exchangers
Fin-and-tube heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of applications. Heat exchangers with expanded tubes are economical, but a drawback is the potentially large contact resistance between tubes and fins. Previous studies have investigated this topic under the exclusion of air-side convection. …

Effect of micro-fin geometry on flow and heat transfer during evaporation in round tubes
In order to understand the mechanism of heat transfer enhancement due to micro-fin geometry, this dissertation develops a novel approach to visualize the two-phase flow pattern in transparent micro-finned tubes under both adiabatic and diabatic conditions. Rather than the conventional sight-glass …
