Abstract:In various applications such as air conditioning, refrigeration, central heating, and chemical processing, heat losses due to thermal resistance are of considerable amount. To improve the thermo-hydraulic performance of the system involved in such applications, it is required to reduce the thermal resistance. This review article focuses on the works related to heat transfer enhancement using two types of surface roughness that are ribs and corrugations. Ribs and corrugations reduce thermal resistance by increa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
