Abstract:
CFD analysis for performance enhancement of the heat exchanger experimental setup using reduced width twisted tapes over full as well as half length twisted tapes inside tubes having twist ratio equal to 1 for laminar flow is carried out in this work. The CFD analysis was done first for plain tube using the same conditions considered for experimental analysis. The results were validated with the experimental results. Then the analysis was done for tube with twisted tape for the same condition as considered for plain tube. The energy balance was carried out for tubes with twisted tape and losses are calculated. The losses at different conditions were studied for a plain and twisted tube. It revealed from CFD simulation and analysis of the simulation results that the heat transfer coefficient in counter flow arrangement is enhanced by 10 to 15% using twisted tape insertions. Operating inlet temperature range of hot fluid is being 50-65oC with a mass flow rate of 0.12-0.15kg/sec
