A unified analysis on enhancing single phase convective heat transfer with field synergy principle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reveal the inherent relation between the filed synergy principle and the three existing mechanisms for enhancing single phase convective heat transfer, i.e., decreasing of thermal boundary layer, increasing of flow interruption and increasing of velocity gradient near a solid wall, all lead to the reduction of intersection angle between velocity and temperature gradient.
