Abstract
A heat transfer tube includes first flow paths aligned in the heat transfer tube. Each of the first flow paths includes a section with a rectangular shape that is elongated in a first direction parallel with an alignment direction of the first flow paths. Each of the first flow paths includes protrusions disposed on an inner surface. The section of each of the first flow paths has a long side having a first length and a short side having a second length, where a ratio of the first length to the second length is between 1.1 and 1.5.
