Finned Tube Bundles
Finned Tube Bundles The previous sections covered the principles of heat transfer and structural features of individual finned tubes. This section focuses on finned tube bundles, a topic closer to practical applications of finned tubes. We will use many photos of finned tube heat exchangers to enhance understanding and prepare for future discussions on designing these exchangers. 1. Definition of [...]
Fin Ratio, Fin Efficiency, and Selection of Fin Parameters
Fin Ratio, Fin Efficiency, and Selection of Fin Parameters In the previous section, we discussed the principles of heat transfer and selection criteria for finned tubes. In this section, we will cover two important concepts related to finned tubes: the fin ratio and fin efficiency, along with considerations for selecting fin parameters. However, first, we propose a method for labeling [...]
Principles of Heat Transfer and Selection Criteria for Finned Tubes
Principles of Heat Transfer and Selection Criteria for Finned Tubes Finned tubes, also known as fin tubes or ribbed tubes, are referred to in English as "Fin Tubes" or "Finned Tubes," sometimes called "Extended Surface Tubes." As the name implies, finned tubes are created by adding fins to the surface of a tube (either the exterior or interior), expanding the [...]
What is a Finned Tube
What is a Finned Tube? A finned tube (Finned Tube), as the name suggests, is a heat transfer tube with fins or projections on its surface. Also known as a fin tube or rib tube, the [...]
Factors Influencing the Determination of Pipeline Pressure Ratings
Factors Influencing the Determination of Pipeline Pressure Ratings Apart from the basic parameters of design temperature and design pressure used to determine the pressure rating of a pipeline, there are several other factors that will affect the determination of the pipeline's pressure rating. 1.2.1 Application Standard System Different standard systems have varying nominal pressure series and corresponding temperature-pressure tables. That [...]
Introduction to Pressure Bearing Standards for Steel Pipes
Introduction to Pressure Bearing Standards for Steel Pipes Pressure pipeline components are generally standard parts; therefore, the design of pressure pipeline components mainly involves the selection of these standard parts. Determining the pressure rating of the pipeline is essentially determining the rating of its standard parts. The pressure rating of a pipeline consists of two parts: The nominal pressure rating [...]
