Forced convection enhancement of air flowing inside circular pipe with varying the pitch (P) of wire-mesh porous media

The forced convective heat transfers on a circular pipe with varying the pitch (P) of stainless wire-mesh porous media for the constant case of surface temperature have been investigated experimentally. The examined parameters were Nusselt number (Nu), friction factor (f), and performance evaluation...
