The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 2.3 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00037 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.6 SJR: 0.433 SNIP: 0.593 CiteScore™:: 4.3 H-Index: 35

ABSTRACT

The effect of dimples on fins, fin thickness, and fin height on air-side heat transfer enhancement and pumping power penalty has been evaluated for elliptical tube cross-flow heat exchangers. Experiments were conducted using a confined channel without bypass flow at superficial air velocities ranging from approximately 0.6 to 5 m/s. Results of dimpled fins were compared to plain fins of two different heights and thicknesses. Wavy fins were also investigated and compared to plain fins. Conical dimples on thick tall fins enhanced the heat transfer coefficient on the air side with little increase in pressure drop across the tube. For shorter, thinner fins, geometrical modifications such as wavy fins and longer flow path lengths did not increase heat transfer coefficient but led to increased pressure drop.
