Increasing the heat transfer rate in any engineering
application is a challenge.
There are many restrictions in implementation methods
used to increase heat transfer rate.
Among those restrictions, heat transfer enhancement
may be done by either active methods or passive
methods.
Active method- more complex from the use and design
point of view
Require some external power input to cause the desired
flow modification and improvement in the rate of heat
transfer.
Passive method- do not require any direct input of
external power; rather they use it from the system
itself which ultimately leads to an increase in
fluid pressure drop.
