TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the heat transfer and the hydraulic resistance of single tubes, and the banks of tubes of various arrangements in flows of gases and viscous liquids, and highlight the influence of the physical properties of fluids on heat transfer.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the heat transfer and the hydraulic resistance of single tubes, and the banks of tubes of various arrangements in flows of gases and viscous liquids. The focus is on the important problems of the heat transfer and the hydraulic resistance of tubes, in particular with the heat transfer of single tubes, banks of tubes, and systems of tubes in crossflow. The chapter also highlights the influence of the physical properties of fluids on heat transfer. Extensive experimental data will be analyzed and will include investigations of banks of tubes of various arrangements, and a single tube in crossflow in the range of Prandtl number from 0.7 to 500 and that of Reynolds number from 1 to 2xl0 6 .
