- This paper proposed a new expression for the modified Rayleigh number that is more compatible with the true flow pattern. This has significant implications on the optimal design of annular fin tubes. This paper resulted from a collaboration with Islamic Azad University, Iran (H. Nemati), HAMPA Energy Engineering and Design Company, Iran (S.A. Shekoohi, Shekoohi.Alireza@hedcoint.com) and University of Pretoria, South Africa (J.P. Meyer). Two subsequent papers directly resulted from this work, published in the International Journal of Thermal Sciences (Vol. 150, 2020) and International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer (Vol. 118, 2020).
