how FOULING effectd the heat transfer rate

Answer Posted / prokash paul

Fouling increases the thickness of the heat transfer
surface. It add an extra heat resistances a result
it decrease the heat transfer rate.
Since rate of heat transfer is inversely proportional to the
thickness of the heat transfer surface and fouling increases
the thickness, therefore fouling decreases the heat
transfer rate.
