Abstract In this study, the hydrothermal water flow characteristics using a dimpled inner tube heat exchanger are investigated experimentally and numerically.
A numerical analysis has performed on two types of dimpled tubes (In-lined and staggered distributions) for two distribution angles 60o and 90o
, and
two dimple diameters(4 mm and 6 mm) with constant pitch ratio (X/d=8). In experimental part, a staggered arrangement dimpled inner tube distribution
with angle 60o
, dimple diameter of 6 mm and constant pitch ratio (X/d=8)is used as well as plain tube. The results illustrate that the heat transfer as
