CFD Analysis of a Pipe Equipped with Twisted Tape

Investigation of Thermo-hydraulic Performance of Circular Tube Fitted with Center-cleared Twisted Tape Using CFD Modeling (RESEARCH NOTE)

The article presents a practical technique for enhancing thermo-hydraulic performance of a circular tube. In this way, numerical method focusing on laminar tubular flow is used to compare the effectiveness of utilizing center-cleared twisted tapes instead of typical shape of short width tapes. Numerical analysis represented that using both center-cleared and typical shape of twisted tapes, Re e...

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 and Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer Augmentation in Double Pipe Heat Exchanger with Helical and Twisted Tape Inserts

Nowadays, heat exchangers with twisted-tape inserts have widely been applied for enhancing the convective heat transfer in various industries such as thermal power plants, chemical processing plants, air conditioning equipment, refrigerators, petrochemical, biomedical and food processing plants. In general, twisted tape insert introduces swirl into the bulk flow which consequently disrupts a th...

Investigations of HTS Twisted Stacked-Tape Conductor

Twisted-wing parasites equipped for colour vision.

When Xenos peckii twisted-wing parasite males emerge as adults from within the body of the hapless wasp that served as their incubator, the race is on. With an adult lifetime spanning just a few hours, the male insects have to locate a female and mate before their time is up. And the challenge of locating a female mate – which is barely more than a fleshy bag of eggs with no eyes or limbs – is ...
