Mechanisms by which fouling can increase overall heat transfer coefficients.

Author(s) : CRITTENDEN B. D., ALDERMAN N. J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

In the article, the effect of surface roughness changes is briefly described. Whether the formation of rough deposits can effect an increase in thermal performance depends critically on the flow Reynolds number and the nature of the roughness. Whether a flow restriction due to fouling can cause an increase in thermal performance is governed by the magnitude of the Biot number.
