Baffles increases velocity by reducing pressure there by due to increased turbulence heat transfer coefficient increases.

Naintara said:   9 years ago
As the induce turbulence so it will increase heat transfer coefficient.

The flow pass by the heat transfer coefficient.

Yes, cause of baffles Turbuly creat so increases h.t.c.
