Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop of Pipes with Internal Roughness
DownloadFall 2022
In many industrial heat exchangers, it is desirable to improve the rate of heat transfer from a pipe wall to the fluid flow. This improvement is commonly made by adding some form of roughness to the pipe surface. However, the added roughness often leads to an increase in the pressure drop of the...
