This Brief stands as a primer for heat transfer fundamentals in heat transfer enhancement devices, the definition of heat transfer area, passive and active enhancement techniques and their potential and benefits and commercial applications. It further examines techniques and modes of heat transfer like single-phase flow and two-phase flow, natural and forced convection, radiation heat transfer and convective mass transfer.
