Abstract
This chapter provides the details of a unique experimental setup that provides detailed information on the effect of entrance flow, buoyancy (secondary flow), inlet configurations (square-edged, re-entrant, and bell-mouth), and fin geometries (spiral angle, fin height-to-diameter ratio, and number of starts) on friction factor (isothermal and non-isothermal) and heat transfer in the entrance and fully developed regions of horizontal plain and micro-fin tubes in all flow regions (laminar, transitional, and turbulent).KeywordsSingle-phase flowPressure dropFriction factorHeat transferNusselt numberFlow regimes (laminar, transitional, and turbulent)Horizontal plain and micro-fin tubesInlet configurations (square-edged, re-entrant, and bell-mouth)Fin geometries (spiral angle, fin height-to-diameter ratio, and number of starts)Buoyancy (secondary flow)Entrance effect
