Abstract
AbstractA correction factor to the theoretical fin efficiency of serrated fins, reported in Part 1 and Part 2 of this report, was derived for an inline arrangement experimentally. The experiment was performed using an open‐type wind tunnel with six kinds of test finned‐tubes made of copper, carbon steel and stainless steel, which were arranged in one to five rows. Heat transfer measurement was done by the local thermal simulation method. The derived correction factor for the 1st row was the same as for staggered arrangement reported in Part 3, for the 2nd and deeper rows, however, a further correction was needed, which may be caused by the difference in the nonuniformity in heat transfer coefficient over the fin surface. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
