Abstract:
In this paper,the reSults are presented from experimental investigation on heattransfer performance in seven copper tu bes with three dimensional internally extended surface(3-DIEST)varying in axial pitch,circumferential pitch,height, width and arrangement form of fins. The forced con vective heat transfer and pressure drop of ethylene glycol flowing in the 3-DLESTShave been tested in the Revnolds number range from 250 to 6,000 and the Prandtl number rangefrom 60 to 90.The average stanton number in the most superior 3-DIEST can be increased about2.4times in the laminar flow.and4.5 times in the transitional flow and turbulent flow as com-pared with that in the smooth tube. And the friction factor between fluid and tube wall can be 1.7times in laminar flow. and 4 times in transitional flow andturbulent flow inside the 3-DIEST as much as those inside the smcoth tube.
