Abstract
Due to the high importance of heat transfer, especially convection type, in industrial applications finding some methods to increase the rate of heat transfer and consequently the efficiency of the heat transfer equipment has always been of interest to researchers. Ultrasound is a highly efficient and reliable technique for enhancing convective heat transfer due to its unique phenomena inside the fluid under its irradiation, such as acoustic cavitation and acoustic streaming. In heat exchangers, equipment in which forced convection is the dominant mechanism, ultrasound has shown a positive effect on increasing the efficiency by enhancing forced convective heat transfer itself and reducing fouling. The present paper summarizes some of the research literature regarding the applications of ultrasound interference in free and forced convection heat transfer systems, focusing more on those published in the last decade.
