β¦ Synopsis
This work presents a numerical investigation of a vertical internally finned tube subjected to forced convection heat transfer. The governing equations were solved numerically using the control volume technique. Nusselt number, Nu, and friction factor multiplied by Reynolds number, fRe, are influenced greatly by the height and number of the radial fins. The velocity and temperature distributions inside the tube depend on the number and height of the radial fins. This paper suggests that for best heat transfer to be achieved there is an optimum combination of fin numbers and height.

## Abstract Effect of fins on heat transfer around a tube was investigated experimentally. A test tube of 30 mm diameter was installed in a test section of an openβtype wind tunnel as a single tube, or as a center tube in a single tube row and in a tube bundle of staggered layout. Fins made of pape
