Abstract
This introductory chapter on the augmentation of convective heat transfer provides background for the many applications of this “second generation heat transfer technology” cited throughout this volume. The many available augmentation techniques are described, and some representative performance data and correlations are given for the popular passive techniques.
The discussion is organized according to the modes of heat transfer, ranging from single-phase forced convection to forced convection condensation.
