Effective surface area of finned tube - Heat Transfer
Q. How is the effective surface area of finned tube surface calculated?
Where,
Afin = the area of tube surface on which fines are provided
Aunfinned = the area of tube surface on which fines are not provided
ηfin = fin efficiency- Published on 12 Aug 15a. A = Aunfinned + Afin
b. A = ηfin (Aunfinned + Afin)
c. A = Aunfinned + (ηfin x Afin)
d. A = (ηfin x Afin)
ANSWER: A = Aunfinned + (ηfin x Afin)
