A Correlation for the Heat Transfer Coefficient in a Rectangular Passage Containing Protuberance

Abstract

An experimental investigation was carried out to determine the effect on the convective heat transfer coefficient of protuberances in a rectangular passage.A cross flow comapct type heat exchanger formed by several parallel spaced plates including protuberances was tested by using water, glycol and air as a working fluids. Heat transfer coefficient data was obtained by measuring mass flow rate, temperature and pressure drops across the heat exchanger. Heat transfer characteristics are discussed and correlations for Nusselt number, Colburn factor and friction factor have been obtained. Keywords: Theses; Heat exchanger; convective heat transfer coefficient.
