Two methods are described in which heat-transfer data obtained with atmospheric air flowing across a bank of finned tubes may be transposed for use with hot pressurized carbon dioxide as encountered in steamraising units. A method to measure the local heattransfer coefficient over the surface of an annular fin is given, and the use of a water model to give the flow pattern and velocity distribution in a bank of plaln or finned tubes is described. The use of a simple wind-tunnel balance to determine the change in pressure-drop coefficient through a bank of plain or finned tubes enables an extrapolation of the pressure drop for any number of rows to be made.
