The internal surface area basis, a key issue of modeling fouling in enhanced heat transfer tubes.

Author(s) : LI W.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The purpose of this article is to discuss the internal surface area basis, a key issue in modelling fouling in enhanced heat transfer tubes, and to correct an error in the author's previous paper, Li and Webb [Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer 45 (2002) 1685]. A fouling factor can be defined based on one of the two area bases, nominal internal surface area and total internal surface area. The error originated in an incorrect definition of internal surface area basis (see article ref. 2002-2896 of the IIR Bulletin).
