Heat transfer enhancement
open-in-new
<p>Heat transfer enhancement is the process of increasing the effectiveness of <a href="/facts/Heat_exchanger/CUzlMnBG">heat exchangers</a>. This can be achieved when the <a href="/facts/Heat_transfer/1IV3WbFL">heat transfer</a> power of a given device is increased or when the pressure losses generated by the device are reduced. A variety of techniques can be applied to this effect, including generating strong <a href="/facts/Secondary_flow/0Hhz4cTJ">secondary flows</a> or increasing <a href="/facts/Boundary_layer/go8gqWM1">boundary layer</a> turbulence. </p>
