Type of article: Article
Summary
The optimal spacing and maximum heat transfer results predicted theoretically are developed into accurate and well tested correlations by means of numerical simulations and experimental measurements. The optimal spacing is relatively insensitive to whether the cylinders are isothermal or with uniform heat flux.
