An experimental technique for obtaining a uniform wall heat flux has been used to determine the local heat transfer coefficients around a cylinder. Data are presented for a single cylinder, for cylinders in tandem, and cylinders located in the entrance of a tube bank. Results are compared to those of other studies with uniform wall heat flux. For the single cylinder, these are found to depend upon blockage, aspect ratio, and free-stream turbulence. For both inline and staggered tube arrangements, the heat transfer coefficient distribution depends on row location but appears to be nearly established by the third row.

In this work the heat transfer and pressure drop experimental results obtained in a two step finned tube bank with conical fins are presented. The tube bank had an equilateral triangle array composed of nine finned tubes with conical fins inclined 45 degrees in respect with the tube axis. The heat exchange external area of a single tube is approximately 0.07 m2. All necessary thermal parameters, inlet/outlet temperatures, mass flows, for the heat balance in the tube bank were determined for different air velocities, Re = 3400–18400, and one constant thermal charge provided by a hot water flow with a temperature of 80 °C. As a result, the correlations for the heat transfer and pressure drop calculation were obtained. The experimental results were compared against the analytical results for a tube bank with annular fins with the same heat exchange area. It was found that the proposed tube bank using finned tubes with conical fins shows an increment of heat transfer up to 58%.

A new method is presented to predict heat transfer coefficients for gas flow normal to smooth and finned tube tanks with triangular pitch. A transformation from the actual tube bank to an equivalent equilateral triangular pitch infinite smooth tube bank (ETP-I-STB) is made. A function of Ch(Ch = NSTNPR2/3NRe0.4) versus (Xt D0)Δ, ratio of transverse pitch to tube diameter for the ETP-I-STB, was developed. The Ch for the equivalent ETP-I-STP then applies to the actual tube bank. The method works with circular finned tubes, smooth tubes, continuous finned tubes, and segmented finned tubes with any triangular pitch. Also, fair predictions were made for in-line tubes with high Reynolds numbers.
