Abstract

Turbulent forced convection heat transfer in triangular cross sectioned helically coiled tube

Highlights

  • An important number of theoretical, numerical and experimental studies investigated the effect of several parameters on the heat transfer from circular cross sectioned helical coiled tubes.The rates of heat transfer in a straight tube and a helically heat exchanger were compared by Prabhanjan et al (2002)

  • A validation of the used software was done by comparing the results of Nusselt number for the case of helical circular cross sectioned coiled tube with other works presented in literature

  • Effect of Re number for fixed Pitch (Pi=0.318) and curvature ratio ( = 0.115) on the fully developed dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles is demonstrated in Figs. 3 and 4

An important number of theoretical, numerical and experimental studies investigated the effect of several parameters on the heat transfer from circular cross sectioned helical coiled tubes. Ko (2006) optimized the mass flow rate for fully developed laminar forced convection of different fluids through circular cross section helically coiled tubes with constant heat flux at walls.
