“…Multiple studies on different augmented and/or coated surfaces [6], e.g., tubes with fitted inserts [9][10][11][12], grooved surfaces [13][14][15] and structured microchannels [16] have been reported. Various types of corrugations have been analysed as well; for instance, tubes with multiple starts [17], tubes with alternating ellipse axes [18,19] and double corrugated tubes with constant hydraulic diameter, D h , or constant cross-section area, A c , [20,21]. All of the reported numerical and/or experimental studies have demonstrated a significant increase in heat transfer inside the tube geometry with higher or lower increase in pressure drop compared to a baseline case.…”
