THE METHOD OF CALCULATION AND ANALYSIS OF HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT OF BIMETALLIC FINNED TUBES OF AIR COOLING UNITS WITH IRREGULAR EXTERNAL CONTAMINATION by V. V. Dudarev, S. O. Filatаu, T. B. Karlovich

“…The suggested method is based on a mathematical model developed with the use of the method of electrothermal analogy, whereby the heat flow through the wall of the finned tube is considered as divided into two components, viz. through the annular layer of outside contamination adjacent to the base of the ribs, and through the remaining part of the external ribbed surface covered with a thin layer of pollution. Within the framework of the developed methodology a new method for determining the thermal resistance of the pollution layer, which is based on analytical solution of two dimensional problem of heat conduction in the annular layer has been created. …”
