@All.
The heat transfer coefficient of air is low. That is air is taken in shell side with finned. Fins will increase the heat transfer rate.

The overall heat transfer coefficient (U) accounts for internal and external convection resistances, wall conduction, and any fouling. So yes, all of these resistances add up and affect U, not just the convective sides.
