Improving the performance of heat exchanger surface by industrial roughness

One popular heat transfer augmentation technique involves the use of rough surfaces of different configurations. The rough surface aims to promote surface turbulence that is intended mainly to increase the heat transfer coefficient and surface area. It was reported that non-flat surfaces have free convection coefficients that arrive to 50% to 100% more than those of flat surfaces. The goal of this study aims mainly to examine heat transfer enhancement from a surface with same industrial roughness created by a special tool (roughness surfaces) with different shapes under convection heat transfer compared to equivalent smooth surfaces without deformations. The results show there is no need to apply the different roughness configurations in two mutually perpendicular directions. It's enough to cause it only in one plane. And we have got the same win in surface area. The results show also the rectangular profiles of roughness give the best result.

Experimental Study for Determination the temperature distribution of the roughness surfaces under natural convection

This study aims mainly to determine the temperature distribution heat transfer enhancement under natural convection experimental, from three surfaces with industrial roughness created by a special machine (roughness surfaces) with triangular, trapezoidal, spherical configuration compared to equivalent smooth surface. With cross-sectional area.
