Convective heat transfer of molten salt in the shell-and-tube heat exchanger with segmental baffles

Abstract In this paper, a special flow layout with U-shaped tubes applied in the laboratory was designed for testing the heat transfer performances (HTPs) of molten salt in the shell side of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger (STHE). Based on this design, the transitional convective HTPs (6142  Re
