  3. Abstract:
  4. This experimental work is an attempt to identify the most significant parameters influencing heat transfer enhancement in annular flow with outer grooved cylinder and rotating inner cylinder. This type of flow known as Taylor-Couette flow has many industrial applications such as electrical power generators and rotating machineries. A comprehensive review of the previous works on flow regimes, heat transfer and pressure drop in grooved channels is provided. The experiments are conducted based on four different factors including Taylor number, 0
