The purpose of this study is to determine the relative advantage of using a helically coiled heat
exchanger against a straight tube heat exchanger. It is found that the heat transfer in helical circular tubes is
higher as compared to Straight tube due to their shape. Helical coils offer advantageous over straight tubes due
to their compactness and increased heat transfer coefficient. The increased heat transfer coefficients are a
consequence of the curvature of the coil, which induces centrifugal forces to act on the moving fluid, resulting in
the development of secondary flow. The curvature of the coil governs the centrifugal force while the pitch (or
helix angle) influences the torsion to which the fluid is subjected to. The centrifugal force results in the
development of secondary flow. Due to the curvature effect, the fluid streams in the outer side of the pipe moves
faster than the fluid streams in the inner side of the pipe. The difference in velocity sets-in secondary flows,
whose pattern changes with the Dean number of the flow.
In current work the fluid to fluid heat exchange is taken into consideration, Most of the investigations on heat transfer coefficients are for constant wall temperature or constant heat flux. The effectiveness, overall

Heat transfer enhancement and friction factor analysis in tube using conical ...eSAT Journals
Abstract Role of the conical spring array for the heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop change in a pipe with constant heat flux boundary condition was investigated. Three different arrangements of conical spring array inserts were used in the experimental setup. Conical spring inserts with diverging conical spring, converging-diverging conical spring and converging conical spring array inserts arrangements were used. Water was used as a working fluid in the experimental setup. It was found that use of conical spring array inserts arrangement leads to enhancement in heat transfer. Higher heat transfer rate was achieved in the divergent spring array arrangement than the converging-diverging and converging arrangement. However, maximum friction factor is achieved in the diverging spring array insert arrangement. By increasing the Reynolds Number for different turbulator arrangement, the significant increase in Nusselt number was obtained. The enhancement in Nusselt Number for the diverging, converging-diverging, converging conical spring array arrangement was 645% ,431% and 259% respectively. The heat transfer enhancement efficiency can be evaluated based on the power consumption per unit mass of fluid. Heat transfer enhancement efficiencies were found for the divergent spring array arrangement up to 277% and for the convergent-divergent spring arrangement up to 212% and for the convergent spring array arrangement up to 153%.

Steady heat transfer enhancement has been studied in helically coiled-tube heat exchangers. The outer side of the wall of the heat exchanger contains a helical corrugation which makes a helical rib on the inner side of the tube wall to induce additional swirling motion of fluid particles. Numerical calculations have been carried out to examine different geometrical parameters and the impact of flow and thermal boundary conditions for the heat transfer rate in laminar and transitional flow regimes. Calculated results have been compared to existing empirical formula and experimental tests to investigate the validity of the numerical results in case of common helical tube heat exchanger and additionally results of the numerical computation of corrugated straight tubes for laminar and transition flow have been validated with experimental tests available in the literature. Comparison of the flow and temperature fields in case of common helical tube and the coil with spirally corrugated wall configuration are discussed. Heat exchanger coils with helically corrugated wall configuration show 80–100% increase for the inner side heat transfer rate due to the additionally developed swirling motion while the relative pressure drop is 10–600% larger compared to the common helically coiled heat exchangers. New empirical Co-relation has been proposed for the fully developed inner side heat transfer prediction in case of helically corrugated wall configuration.

This research work deals with experimental investigation of plate type heat exchanger with evaluation of convective heat transfer coefficient, overall heat transfer coefficient, exchanger effectiveness. The heat exchanger used for carrying out this work consists of thin metal welded plates of stainless steel with 1mm thickness, rectangular geometry and distance between two plates is 7mm. This test setup consists of total 16 numbers of plates and it is designed to withstand with 850C temperature, pressure drop is neglected. Tests are conducted by varying operating parameters like mass flow rate, inlet temperatures of hot water. The main objective of this work is to find effects of these parameters on performance of plate heat exchanger with parallel flow arrangement. Results show that, overall heat transfer coefficient and convective heat transfer coefficient increases with increase in mass flow rate and Reynolds number. Also the effectiveness varies slightly with heat capacity ratio. In this study, maximum effectiveness achieved for plate heat exchanger with water as a working fluid is 0.48.Use of plate heat exchanger is more advantageous than the tube type heat exchanger with same effectiveness, as it occupies less space.

FLUID FLOW ANALYSIS IN AIR DUCT FLOW WITH AND WITHOUT INTERNAL THREADS USING ...IAEME Publication
Computational heat transfer flow modeling is one of the great challenges in the classical sciences. As with most problems in engineering, the interest in the heat transfer augmentation is increasing due to its extreme importance in various industrial applications. This paper deals with the analysis of heat transfer for fluid flowing through the pipe with and without internal threads using CFD. Using CFD codes for modeling the heat and fluid flow is an efficient tool for predicting equipment performance. CFD offers a convenient means to study the detailed flows and heat exchange processes, which take place inside the tube. Simulations were carried out using commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent version 14.5. Friction factor and Nusselt number for air flowing through the specified tube (internal diameter = 0.005 m, length = 0.1 m) were obtained first for the plain tube and then for the tube with internal threads with pitch 5mm in the Reynolds number range of 2000 to 5000. Finally results will be compared to available experimental and analytical calculations. The data obtained by simulation are matching with the literature value for a plain tube with the discrepancy of less than plus or minus 5% for Nusselt number and for the friction factor.
Enhanced heat transfer for the tube with internal threads has been observed. Heat flux is more uniform all along the tube and decreases uniformly towards the center.

Thus avoiding CFD analysis which can be time consuming and costly. However, it is important that such mathematical equations be evaluated for their accuracy. This paper uses CFD methods in evaluating the accuracy of mathematical equations. Several models were created with varying; geometry, flue gas entry temperature,

FLUID FLOW ANALYSIS IN AIR DUCT FLOW WITH AND WITHOUT INTERNAL THREADS USING ...IAEME Publication
Computational heat transfer flow modeling is one of the great challenges in the classical sciences. As with most problems in engineering, the interest in the heat transfer augmentation is increasing due to its extreme importance in various industrial applications. This paper deals with the analysis of heat transfer for fluid flowing through the pipe with and without internal threads using CFD. Using CFD codes for modeling the heat and fluid flow is an efficient tool for predicting equipment performance. CFD offers a convenient means to study the detailed flows and heat exchange processes, which take place inside the tube. Simulations were carried out using commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent version 14.5. Friction factor and Nusselt number for air flowing through the specified tube (internal diameter = 0.005 m, length = 0.1 m) were obtained first for the plain tube and then for the tube with internal threads with pitch 5mm in the Reynolds number range of 2000 to 5000. Finally results will be compared to available experimental and analytical calculations. The data obtained by simulation are matching with the literature value for a plain tube with the discrepancy of less than plus or minus 5% for Nusselt number and for the friction factor.
Enhanced heat transfer for the tube with internal threads has been observed. Heat flux is more uniform all along the tube and decreases uniformly towards the center.
Evaluating mathematical heat transfer effectiveness equations using cfd techn...aeijjournal
Mathematical heat transfer equations for finned double pipe heat exchangers based on experimental work carried out in the 1970s can be programmed in a spreadsheet for repetitive use. Thus avoiding CFD analysis which can be time consuming and costly. However, it is important that such mathematical equations be evaluated for their accuracy. This paper uses CFD methods in evaluating the accuracy of mathematical equations. Several models were created with varying; geometry, flue gas entry temperature,
and flow rates. The analysis should provide designers and manufacturers a judgment on the expected level
of accuracy when using mathematical modelling methodology. This paper simultaneously identifies best
practices in carrying out such CFD analysis
Heat transfer equipment is defined by the function it fulfills in a process. On the similar path, Heat exchangers are
the equipment used in industrial processes to recover heat between two process fluids. They are widely used in space
heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, and
natural gas processing. The operating efficiency of these exchangers plays a very key role in the overall running cost
of a plant. So the designers are on a trend of developing heat exchangers which are highly efficient, compact, and cost
effective.

Heat Transfer Enhancement of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Using Conical Tapes.IJERA Editor
This paper provides heat transfer and friction factor data for single -phase flow in a shell and tube heat exchanger fitted with a helical tape insert. In the double concentric tube heat exchanger, hot air was passed through the inner tube while the cold water was flowed through the annulus. The influences of the helical insert on heat transfer rate and friction factor were studied for counter flow, and Nusselt numbers and friction factor obtained were compared with previous data (Dittus 1930, Petukhov 1970, Moody 1944) for axial flows in the plain tube. The flow considered is in a low Reynolds number range between 2300 and 8800. A maximum percentage gain of 165% in heat transfer rate is obtained for using the helical insert in comparison with the plain tube.

Steady heat transfer enhancement has been studied in helically coiled-tube heat exchangers. The outer side of the wall of the heat exchanger contains a helical corrugation which makes a helical rib on the inner side of the tube wall to induce additional swirling motion of fluid particles. Numerical calculations have been carried out to examine different geometrical parameters and the impact of flow and thermal boundary conditions for the heat transfer rate in laminar and transitional flow regimes. Calculated results have been compared to existing empirical formula and experimental tests to investigate the validity of the numerical results in case of common helical tube heat exchanger and additionally results of the numerical computation of corrugated straight tubes for laminar and transition flow have been validated with experimental tests available in the literature. Comparison of the flow and temperature fields in case of common helical tube and the coil with spirally corrugated wall configuration are discussed. Heat exchanger coils with helically corrugated wall configuration show 80–100% increase for the inner side heat transfer rate due to the additionally developed swirling motion while the relative pressure drop is 10–600% larger compared to the common helically coiled heat exchangers. New empirical Co-relation has been proposed for the fully developed inner side heat transfer prediction in case of helically corrugated wall configuration.

In the present work heat transfer and friction factor properties we re experimentally investigated by using copper wavy (corrugated) twisted tape inserts. The turbulent flow w as created by inserting the wavy twisted tape inserts into the inner tube of heat exchanger creating high rate of t urbulence in pipe,which results in increasing heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop. The tape consists of the cor rugations and the twisting with various twist ratios (TR=10.7,8.5,7.1). The length and width of insert was 1 meter an d 14 mm respectively. The outer tube of heat exchanger is made up of mild steel with outside diameter .0198 m & .0142 m inside diameter and the inner tube is made up of copper with .038 m outside diameter and .032 m inside di ameter. The length of pipe in pipe heat exchanger is 1.4 m. The bulk mean temperatures at various posit ions are used for different flow rate of water. From the obtained results the new Correlations for Nusselt number and friction factor are developed for twisted tape inserts. The Reynolds number is varied from 5000 to 17000. The results of varying twists in wavy twisted tape inserts with different pitches have been compared with the val ues for the smooth tube. It showed that the highest heat transfer rate was achieved for the wavy twis ted tape with twist ration 7.1. The Nusselt number value increased by 172 % and friction factor value increased by 32.11% as compared to the sm ooth tube values.

Abstract Maintaining temperature and eliminating loss from anaerobic reactor highly improve the production of biogas .To achieve the required temperature inside the reactor supplying hot fluid externally using helical coil heat exchanger is required. Helical coil heat exchangers are widely used in industrial applications because they are more efficient as compared to straight tube type heat exchangers. This paper deals with the effect of pitch variation on the heat transfer characteristics (convective heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt number dean number heat removal rate etc.) of helical coil heat exchangers that can be used for supplying hot fluid to maintain the temperature of the reactor to achieve high biogas production. ANSYS 14.5 was used for the numerical investigation and the present study is done for three different coils of two turns having the same cross section and coil diameter but each coil having a different pitch. Modeling of the study was carried out based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer and implementing the necessary boundary conditions. The results indicate that the heat transfer enhances with increasing pitch of the helical coil but with an increased pressure drop.

Abstract Heat sinks are commonly used for cooling of electronic devices. Heat sinks, an array of heat fins, remove the heat from the surfaces of the chips by enhancing the heat Transfer rate through heat conduction process. Heat can also be removed from the chip surfaces through forced convection heat transfer. In this project work, CFD and conjugate heat transfer analysis is carried out for various fin geometries with Zigzag, Fluted, Slanted mirror, Custom pin fin and staggered array configurations for low thermal resistance and minimum pressure drop. Numerical simulations are carried out for each of the above mentioned fin geometries with common base plate thickness of 2 mm, fin height of 28 mm and fin thickness of 1 mm for three different heat loads namely 50 W, 75 W and 100 W with air flow of 3.933 m/s (15 ft3/min or 15 CFM) and air inlet temperature of 25oC. The results are compared for thermal performance of a heat sink for each of above geometries and it is observe that the fin with Slanted Mirror geometry gives the best performance among all the other geometries for minimum Pressure drop. The average heat transfer coefficients for fins with slanted mirror geometry, zig zag configuration, fluted type, custom pin fin and staggered array are found to be 215 W/m2K, 164 W/m2K, 164 W/m2K, 157 W/m2K and 145 W/m2K respectively Keywords: Fin geometries of Heat sinks, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Conjugate heat transfer.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract
Heat exchanger is an important device in all the thermal systems. The heat exchanger is widely used equipment in different
industries such as process, petroleum refining, chemicals and paper etc. Energy and material saving considerations as well as
environmental challenges in the industry have stimulated the demand for high efficiency heat exchanger. To improve the efficiency
of heat exchanger one must think of heat transfer enhancement in heat exchanger. Moreover heat transfer enhancement enables
the size of heat exchanger to be considerably decreased. A high rate of heat transfer with minimum space requirement is necessity
for compact heat exchanger. In present work, to improve the heat transfer characteristic of the double pipe heat exchanger, the
helical fins were installed on the outer surface of the inner tube and the level of turbulence increased by the rotating the inner
tube. The length of heat exchanger was 1m and the pitch of helical fins kept constant equal to 17 mm. The convective heat transfer
coefficients were obtained for the stationary as well as rotating inner tube for the counter flow mode using water as cold fluid in
the tube side and glycerol as hot fluid in the shell side. The flow rate of cold fluid was kept constant and that of hot fluid was
varied. The Nusselt number was calculated for the each speed of the rotation and compared with standard values obtained from
Dittus-Boelter equation. The helical fins increases heat transfer area and rotation of the inner tube increases the mixing of fluid
particles which is necessary for the convection mode of heat transfer. The Nusselt number increased up to 64 % at 100 rpm
compared to stationary inner tube with helical fins.

1. INTRODUCTION
The heat exchanger is a device used to transfer the heat from
the hot fluid to cold fluid with maximum rate and minimum
investment. The heat exchanger is an important device in
various thermal systems for e.g. condenser and evaporator in
refrigeration systems, boiler & condenser in steam power
plants etc. The heat exchanger has wide variety of industrial
applications such as process industries, chemical industries,
food industries etc. Now there is need of the compact heat
exchangers to give required heat transfer rate with minimum
space requirement. The helical fins on the inner tube
increase the area available for the heat transfer and the
rotation of inner tube increases the turbulence. With helical
fins at larger pitch, the efficiency of the heat transfer
enhancement however is rather low when the total length of
heat exchanger is fixed. At high Reynolds number, pressure
drop will increase sharply if the helical pitch decreases. Due
to this reason the heat transfer enhancement with helical fins
is more suitable at low Reynolds number [1]. Li Zhang et
al. [1] experimentally investigated the heat transfer
characteristics of the double pipe heat exchanger with
helical fins and vortex generators. Heat transfer
characteristics were studied with air as working fluid and
steam as heating medium. In their chosen geometry, the heat
transferred by the heat exchangers enhanced by the helical
fins and the vortex generators of delta- wing type was 87–
115% more than that transferred by the heat exchanger with
smooth inner tube. W. El-Maghlany et al. [2] studied the
fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of double-pipe
heat exchanger with rotating inner tube. The experiments
carried out for the speed of rotation of inner tube from 0 to
1000 rpm. The effectiveness and NTU number obtained for
parallel flow and counter flow arrangement. They found that
speed of rotation increases the Reynolds number, NTU and
effectiveness values. Zhengguo Zhang et al. [3] were made
attempts to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a
helically baffled heat exchanger combined with one three-
dimensional finned tube. For the counter mode operation the
experiments were carried out and overall heat transfer
coefficient determined using modified Wilson-plot. The
agreement with the numerical and experimental predictions
of Nusselt number and pressure drop values were well
within 6.3% for Nusselt number and 9.8% for pressure drop
in the shell side, respectively. Haifa El-Sadi et al. [4]
presented experimental and numerical simulation of a micro
screw heat exchanger to determine the overall heat transfer
coefficient. M.R.H. Nobari and K. Gharali [5] numerically
studied the effect of internal fins on laminar fluid flow and
heat transfer characteristics inside rotating straight pipe and

stationary curved pipes. They found that at the optimum
value of fin height for the Dean number less than 100, heat
transfer rate is maximum and heat transfer coefficient is 6
times higher than that of plain inner tube. Pravin Mane et al.
[6] performed numerical analysis of pulse tube cryocooler.
This simulation gives the variation in temperature and
pressure with respect to time at the cold heat exchanger. The
present study aims to experimentally investigate heat
transfer characteristics of double pipe heat exchanger with
helical fins on the outer surface of inner rotating tube. The
comparison of Nusselt number is performed between the
experimental results and theoretical values obtained from
standard Dittus-Boelter equation.
2. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Fig-1 is the schematic layout of experimental set-up, which
is used to obtain heat transfer rate and pressure drop. The
set-up consists of double pipe heat exchanger with helical
fins on the outer surface of inner tube. The length of the
inner tube is 1 m and the fins provided on it for 970 mm
length. Fig-2 is the inner tube with helical fins on outer
surface. The height, thickness and pitch of the fins are 16
mm, 1 mm and 17 mm respectively. To secure the helical on
the outer surface of the inner tube, spiral fining machine is
used.
There are two separate loops. The hot fluid glycerol is
flowing through the upper loop shown in Fig-1. The
glycerol is flowing through the shell side of the heat
exchanger whose temperature is maintained by the
adjustment of heater and flow rate is controlled by the
adjustment of the by-pass valve and gear pump. The lower
loop is to circulate the cold water on the tube side with
constant inlet temperature. The water flow rate is controlled
by bypass valve and centrifugal pump. The heat exchanger
is operated in counter flow mode.
Fig -1: Schematic of experimental set-up
The calibrated K- type thermocouples are used to measure
the inlet and outlet temperatures of the glycerol and water.
To locate the thermocouples holes of 0.5 mm are drilled at
required position and thermocouples with 0.3 mm diameter
inserted into holes and fixed. The pressure drop is measured
for the shell side fluid i.e. glycerol using pressure
manometer. The water flow rate is maintained constant at
750 LPH. The glycerol flow rate is varied from the 200 LPH
to 400 LPH. The rotation is provided for the inner tube with
help of DC motor and the speed of rotation is varied from
the 0 rpm to 100 rpm. The inlet and outlet temperatures are
recorded for the hot and cold fluids for 0, 50 and 100 rpm
for the above mentioned flow rates. The outer surface of
heat exchanger is insulated by the rubber. The temperature
measurements enabled studying the effect of different flow
parameters such as Reynolds number, Prandtl number as
well as heat transfer characteristics of double pipe heat
exchanger with helical fins on the outer surface of inner
rotating tube. The Nusselt number and heat transfer
coefficient are obtained for each observation.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Experiments were conducted to study the effect of following
parameters:
I) Variation of flow rate between 200 LPH to 400 LPH for
the glycerol and flow rate of water is constant at 750LPH.
II) Variation of speed of rotation of inner tube from 0 RPM
to 100 RPM.
The experimental Results are compared with the theoretical
results obtained by using Dittus-Boelter Equation which is
applied for plain tube in tube heat exchanger. The variation
of the Nusselt number with Reynolds number for the
stationary inner tube obtained from the experimental results
is shown in Fig-3. The Nusselt number obtained for the
plain inner tube from the Dittus-Boelter equation and is also
plotted in the Fig-3. The graph shows that as Re increases
the Nu increases both for plain tube in tube and for finned
inner tube heat exchanger. The Nusselt number obtained
with the helical fins on the outer surface of the inner tube is
higher than that obtained for the plain inner tube. The
Nusselt number with only helical fins are 4 times more than
that of plain tube heat exchanger.
The speed of rotation of the inner tube is varied from the 0
rpm to 100 rpm in the steps of 50 rpm. The Nusselt numbers
obtained for each speed of rotation are plotted in the Fig-4.
The graph shows that as the speed of rotation increases the
Nusselt number goes on increasing for the same Reynolds
number. The Nusselt numbers at the speed 50 rpm and 100
rpm are 36% and 64% more than that of stationary inner
tube. The Nusselt number at 100 rpm is 21 % higher than
that of 50 rpm.

5. CONCLUSIONS
The Nusselt number obtained from the experimental results
are higher than that of theoretical values obtained from
Dittus-Boelter equation. The helical fins over the inner tube
results into the increase in the heat transfer area and
reduction in the hydraulic diameter of the flow channel. In
addition to this the rotation of inner tube enhances the
turbulence and mixing of fluid molecules which is necessary
to enhance the heat transfer rate in the convection mode of
heat transfer. For the present work the Nusselt number for
the inner tube with helical fins is 4 times higher than that of
the plain inner tube for stationary condition. The Nusselt
numbers at the speed 50 rpm and 100 rpm are 36% and 64%
more than that of stationary inner tube. The Nusselt numbers
at 100 rpm are 21 % higher than that of 50 rpm.
