Experimental and numerical study of thermal-hydraulic performance in a heat exchanger tube with circular ring's angular cutting inserts

Seyed Hadi Banihashemi et al.

Summary: This study experimentally and numerically investigated the effects of inserting circular rings with different angular indexes and diameter ratios on thermal performance in a pipe. The results showed that inserting circular rings significantly increased the Nusselt number and thermal performance coefficient, and increasing the ring diameter ratio had similar effects. Therefore, circular rings as passive components are of great importance in heat transfer and industrial applications.

Study of thermal performance and optimization of city gas station heaters equipped with turbulator in the fire tube section

Seyed Mohammad Javadi et al.

Summary: Considering the importance of managing energy consumption and reducing pollutants, researchers are interested in studying effective solutions and techniques in this area. The low efficiency of the system leads to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases and gas consumption. Therefore, finding a solution to improve equipment efficiency and address environmental and energy consumption limitations is crucial. The use of a disc turbulator in fire tubes is investigated in this study to enhance the thermal, energy, and environmental performance of the heating system.

Numerical evaluation of the effect of using various twisted-tape geometries on heat transfer enhancement and flow characteristics in a tube

Sara Taheripour et al.

Summary: This study investigates the heat transfer, friction factor, and thermal enhancement factor in a tube with different twisted-tape geometries. The findings show that triangular elements exhibit the most notable increase in Nusselt number compared to other shapes. Triangular elements also have the highest friction factor compared to square elements. The square with protrusions at 0 degrees has the maximum thermal enhancement factor, while the twist without elements has the lowest thermal enhancement factor.

Thermal performance enhancement in heat exchangers using active and passive techniques: a detailed review

Suvanjan Bhattacharyya et al.

Summary: The objective of this article is to study the work carried out in heat transfer augmentation using active and passive techniques. The study reviews research done in various areas such as electrohydrodynamic, magnetic field, corona wind, vortex generators, tape and coil inserts, roughness, and modified duct. It was found that passive methods are more investigated than active methods due to their safe and sound operation along with no additional requirement of power. The results show that duct modification is an effective and efficient way for heat transfer enhancement.

Thermal Performance Enhancement for Heat Exchanger Tube Fitted with Vortex Generator Inserts

Waleed A. Abdelmaksoud et al.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the thermal performance of a heat exchanger tube fitted with vortex generator inserts using numerical methods. Three configurations of vortex generators are proposed to achieve the highest thermal performance, with the triple-curved vortex generator showing the best results at low Reynolds numbers. The thermal performance improves as the pitch ratio decreases, with the triple-curved vortex generator providing a 24% enhancement compared to a twisted tape.
