Heat Transfer Augmentation in a Circular tube Fitted with Twisted Tap Inserts
Keywords:
Heat transfer enhancement, pressure drop, turbulent flow, twisted tape
Abstract
The present paper is a review of research work on heat transfer enhancement in a circular tubefillted with twisted tapes. In the present paper emphasis is given to works dealing with twisted tape inserts because according to the recent studies, these are known to be economic tool in the field of heat transfer enhancement. Passive techniques, where inserts are used in the flow passage to increase the heat transfer rate, are advantageous compared with active techniques, because the insert manufacturing process is simple and cheap and these techniques can be easily employed in an existing heat exchanger. The thermo-hydraulic performance of tube having twisted tape insert depends on the various factors such as flow conditions, geometry of pipe and insert configurations. The present review is organized separately according to type of insets, pipe geometry, for laminar and turbulent flow respectively.
