Abstract:The thermal characteristics for the flow through the annulus with inner finned tube under stationary and rotating conditions are experimentally investigated. The experiments are carried out using both unfinned and finned tubes at different rotating speeds range from 0 to 400 rpm. The effect of fins number and its heights are studied for the straight fins which used with inner pipe. The Reynolds number ranged from 3x104 to 9x104, while Taylor number ranged from 3x106 to 11x106. The results showed an increase of… Show more
