Drag reducing solutions can reduce turbulent pressure loss by nearly 90% and can decrease pumping energy requirements and increase flow rates in fluid flow systems. Unfortunately, drag reduced flow is accompanied by lower convective heat transfer coefficients, which is undesirable in district heating and cooling systems, heated tube bundles for undersea petroleum production, and other recirculating heat transport systems. In this study, three different rotating agitators were installed inside the inner tube of a concentric tube heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer in a surfactant drag reducing solution. An earlier mathematical model for heat transfer in scraped surface heat exchangers was adapted for this application so that the effectiveness of agitators with different geometries could be compared quantitatively. In addition, an enhancement efficiency factor was defined to compare power efficiency with previous methods. It was found that agitation can increase the effective inner heat transfer coefficient to exceed that of pure water; heat transfer reduction compared to water was reduced from 60% to 20%. In addition, the enhancement can be more energy -efficient than that of previously studied static mixers. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
