Abstract Transferring thermal energy efficiently necessitates utilizing a heat exchanger capable of producing the full thermal power of the energy supply at lowest possible cost and time. Therefore, in the present investigation, the impact of corrugated helical coil concentric tube-in-tube heat exchanger on the thermal performance is investigated experimentally. As a continuous in our issue of heat exchanger, the corrugated helical tube-in-tube is carried out and compared with smooth helical tube-in-tube for free convection heat transfer. The set-up of the experimental apparatus are designed and utilized to be appropriate for the cooling and heating systems of working fluid. The impacts of… More >

Abstract In the present study, the effect of injecting air bubble size on the thermal performance of a vertical counter-current shell and coiled tube heat exchanger is experimentally investigated. The experiments were accomplished in a cylindrical shape heat exchanger with a 50 cm height and 15 cm outer diameter. Copper coil with 3.939 m equivalent length and 0.6 cm outer diameter was used to carry the hot fluid (water). Four different cold fluid (shell side) flow rates under laminar flow conditions (316 ≤ Re ≤ 1223), constant hot (coil side) flow rate fluid rates , four different injected air flow rates , invariant… More >
