Summary

An experimental investigation has been conducted to clarify forced convection heat transfer characteristic and flow behaviour of an isothermal cam shaped tube in cross flow. The results show that the mean heat transfer coefficient is a maximum at about alpha= 90° over the whole range of the Reynolds numbers. It is found that thermal hydraulic performance of the cam shaped tube is larger than that of a circular tube with the same surface area except for alpha= 90° and 120°. Furthermore, the effect of the diameter of the cam shaped tube upon the thermal hydraulic performance is discussed. [Reprinted with permission from Elsevier. Copyright, 2006].
