Abstract
Results of experimental investigations of the average heat transfer from five-row staggered bundles of tubes with knurled spiral fins, operating in the free air-convection regime, in the case where the angel of inclination of the longitudinal axis of the tubes changed from 0 to 60° are presented. The investigations were carried out by the method of complete heat simulation. The average heat transfer was measured in the direction of a free air flow in each row of a tube bundle. The experimental data were generalized by similarity equations for calculating the average heat transfer from the tube bundles and their individual rows in the range of change in the Rayleigh number characteristic of the operating conditions of industrial heat exchangers assembled from finned tubes of the type of the above-indicated tubes.
