The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 2.3 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00037 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.6 SJR: 0.433 SNIP: 0.593 CiteScore™:: 4.3 H-Index: 35

ABSTRACT

The results of experimental studies on heat transfer and pressure drop during forced convection of air and liquid ethylene glycol in pipes with inner fins are presented. Tubes with integrated fins were made by extrusion from an aluminum alloy; the fins were straight or twisted spirally along the tube and their tips almost reached the tube axis. Depending on the process parameters, the heat transfer coefficients of the finned tubes that were obtained with these liquids were higher by a factor of 3 to more than a factor of 8 compared to plain tubes. The pressure drop was correspondingly higher for finned than for smooth tubes. The improvement in heat transfer cannot be explained quantitatively simply by linear coupling with the enhancement in the surface area due to finning. In addition to this quantitative effect, there is also a qualitative effect that is caused by the shape of the fins. The real improvement in heat transfer appears to be determined by efficient secondary flows that form in the flow channels between adjacent fins and interact with the vortex core flow in the middle of the tube cross section.

KEY WORDS: internal finned tubes, twisted fins, forced convection, heat transfer improvement, pressure drop, secondary flows
