ABSTRACT
This paper presents an experimental study of heat transfer performance in a finned tube with several fin pitches. The test loop circulates water at controlled inlet temperatures of 45–55 °C and room air at 20 °C. Inlet/outlet water temperatures and volumetric flow are measured, and overall heat transfer rate Q and overall conductance UA are evaluated. Results indicate that tighter fin pitch (183 fins in the studied geometry) yields the largest UA and Q in the tested Reynolds range.
