RIPPLED SILICA DEPOSITS IN HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES
Sinopsis
Rippled deposits have been observed during the removal of heat from geothermal water. The effect of the ripples is to produce enhanced heat transfer in the early stages of the fouling process and pressure losses of 170% greater than for equivalent sand grain roughness under similar conditions after 2000 hours.
