Several experimental fouling data reported in literature and from our study were analyzed with respect to increase in surface and bulk temperatures that showed a decrease in fouling rates. The existing threshold fouling models do not adequately describe the phenomenon of decreasing fouling rates with increase in surface or bulk temperatures. The possible causes including the effect of temperature difference, heating regime and solubility of fouling precursors were analyzed and reported. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84904038275&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.917.189&partnerID=40&md5=92a937e08ac9b89798d08246fade2bfc id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.917.189 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 917 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 189-198 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038350521 issn: 10226680 citation: Ramasamy, M. and Deshannavar, U.B.
