Investigation of an Analytical Approach for the Design of the Convection Section of Fired Heaters: The Opportunity to Succeed 20th Century Correlations

The convection section of fired heaters consists of finned tubes to enhance heat transfer. However, finned tubes make heat transfer in the convection section of fired heaters considerably more complex. Consequently, engineers depend heavily on correlations to determine heat transfer in the convection section of fired heaters. The problem related...
