Comparison of the thermal performance of serrated high-finned tubes used in heat-recovery systems

  • 1. Westinghouse Electric Corp., Power Generation Operations Div., Concordville, PA

Description

This paper presents the results of an investigation of the thermal performance of serrated, high-finned tubes in both the staggered and inline arrangements. Comparisons are made with published wind-tunnel data, published correlations, and new results of field tests for a commonly used heat-recovery finned tube configuration in the inline arrangement. For the staggered arrangement, it is shown that reasonable agreement exists between four wind-tunnel data sets and the staggered arrangement correlation of Weierman
