Laminar Flow Heat Transfer in Helical Oval-Twisted Tube for Heat Exchanger Applications

Abstract: The heat transfer performance of a novel tube configuration that combines the swirling velocity induced by oval-twisting and secondary flow generated by a helical geometrical flow path is presented. The Nusselt number (𝑁𝑒) and friction factor (𝑓) are compared for the laminar flow regime (𝑅𝑒 = 250-2000) under isothermal wall conditions. Under the same flow and boundary conditions, the oval-twisted helical tube increased the 𝑁𝑒 and slightly increased the 𝑓 over the circular helical tube. The best perform… Show more

“…To study the temperature field, it is first necessary to analyze the corresponding heat transfer processes, including convective and radiant heat transfer processes. Previously, some scholars have studied the radiation and convective heat transfer processes of some thermal equipment (Wahlquist et al, 2022;Prasad et al, 2022). Zabolotsky (2011) proposed a method for calculating the temperature field of the casting ladle lining by a modified relaxation method.…”

“…Industrial activities that consume a large proportion of energy resources have captivated the consideration of many researchers. As a result, enhancing thermal efficiency has emerged as one of the most pressing issues (Promvonge 2008;Bergles 2002;Datt et al 2019;Ali et al 2022 ). Traditional heat exchangers with smooth tubes have a low and inefficient thermal performance, making them unsuitable for reducing energy use and increasing economic gains.…”
