1982

A comparison of ST-4 Computer Program predictions with recent low shellside Reynolds number data has prompted a more detailed study of the tuberow correction factor, g. The study has shown that g depends on the ratio of the window to crossflow velocities. The proposed modification of g has been tested against different data sets.
