Single-Phase Flow Performance Evaluation Criteria

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Performance Evaluation Criteria in Heat Transfer Enhancement

Abstract

This chapter is mainly focused on performance evaluation criteria for single-phase flow. The objectives and constraints of fixed geometry criteria, variable geometry criteria and fixed cross-sectional flow area criteria have been discussed here. The thermal resistance, St and f relations, heat exchanger effectiveness, effect of reduced exchanger flow rate and flow over finned tube bank topics have been presented.
