An experimental study on heat transfer enhancement and flow characteristics of a tube with plain, perforated and dimpled twisted tape inserts

Heat Transfer Enhancement of Laminar Nanofluids Flow in a Circular Tube Fitted with Parabolic-Cut Twisted Tape Inserts

Numerical investigation has been carried out on heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of copper-water nanofluid flow in a constant heat-fluxed tube with the existence of new configuration of vortex generator using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Two types of swirl flow generator: Classical twisted tape (CTT) and Parabolic-cut twisted tape (PCT) with a different twist ...

Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement of CNT-Water Nanofluids in Plain Tube Fitted with Wire Coil Inserts

Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer and Friction Factor Characteristics in a Circular Tube Fitted with V-Cut Twisted Tape Inserts

Numerical investigation of the heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of a circular fitted with V-cut twisted tape (VCT) insert with twist ratio (y = 2.93) and different cut depths (w = 0.5, 1, and 1.5 cm) were studied for laminar flow using CFD package (FLUENT-6.3.26). The data obtained from plain tube were verified with the literature correlation to ensure the validation of simulat...

Enhancements Of Heat Transfer Nanofluid Flow In Circular Pipe With Twisted Tape Inserts: Review

Heat transfer improvement in circular pipe by using nanofluid and twisted tape is presented in this review paper. Experimental and numerical studies are incorporated involving both the range of turbulent and laminar flow. Effect of type and volume fraction of nanofluid on performance of heat transfer was referred along with the length and twist ratio of the tape through the pipe on heat transfe...

Numerical study of flow and heat transfer characteristics of CuO/H2O nanofluid within a mini tube

Nanofluids are new heat transfer fluids, which improve thermal performance while reducing the size of systems. In this study, the numerical domain as a three-dimensional copper mini tube was simulated to study the characteristics of flow and heat transfer of CuO/H2O nanofluid, flowed horizontally within it. The selected model for this study was a two-phase mixture model. The results ...
