Overview

Numerical trial assesses heat transfer improvement in circular tubes, indicating benefits of segmented tape inserts.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how twisted tape inserts can enhance heat transfer in circular tubes under low-flow conditions.
  • Utilized computational fluid dynamics for systematic analysis of twisted tape effects.
  • Examined varying lengths and segment numbers of twisted tapes on water flow.
  • Measured heat transfer performance under uniform wall heat flux.
  • Increasing segment numbers from one to four raised the Nusselt number from 14.6 to 24.2 at Reynolds number 1800.
  • Shorter tapes reduce flow resistance but decrease the Nusselt number.
  • Segmented designs enhance heat transfer with less penalty on pressure drop.
