3D-printed tubes with complex internal fins for heat transfer enhancement—CFD analysis and performance evaluation
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing technology, is applied to fabricate complex fin structures for heat transfer enhancement at inner surface of tubes, which conventional manufacturing technology cannot make. This work considered rectangular fins, scale fins, and delta fins with s...
