Abstract:In current work, CFD simulation of "shell and helical coil heat exchanger" has been done using ANSYS FLUENT package 19.2. Numerical study involved design of helical tube with different curvature ratio (di/Dc) 0.166, 0.153, and 0.142 and different coil pitch (30, 50, 75, and 100) mm has been chosen to study the effect of curvature ratio and coil pitch. In shell side cold fluid (oil) "flow rate" is varying from (0.06 - 0.1) kg/s and hot fluid (air) velocity ranges are from (20 to 48) m/s in helical tube with in… Show more
