Internally rifled boiler tubes are used to evaporate water into steam inside boilers of thermal power plants.
Current research into these tubes is being conducted due to their potential to increase efficiency of power plants.
The rifling imparts a centrifugal force to the flowing fluid (commonly a mixture of steam and water).
[3] This process increases the surface area for the maximum heat transfer when compared to smooth bore tubes.
