Predicted laminar Nusselt number using regression correlation of Therminol-55 heat transfer fluid is in agreement with experiments in the rifled tube. [Display omitted] •Heat transfer coefficient and friction factor are measured and predicted in the rifled tube.•Correlations for Nusselt number and f...
