Geometrical arrangements were characterised by the h/H ratio ranging from 0.2 to 1.0. The experiments used the holographic interferometry method in real time. This method enables visible and quantitative evaluations of images of temperature fields in the examined heat exchange. These images are used to determine the local and mean heat transfer parameters. The obtained data were used to determine the Colburn j-factor and the friction coefficient f. The measured values show that by using the profiled heat exchange surfaces and inserting regulating tubes, an intensification of heat transfer (increase of Num, and/or j) was achieved. However, pressure losses recorded a significant increase (increase of f).}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Intensification of heat transfer between heat exchange surfaces at low RE values}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/85066/PDF/CPE_3-2015_art_5.pdf}, doi={10.1515/cpe-2015-001203}, keywords={heat transfer, heat exchange surface, Colburn j-factor, interferometry}, }
