Abstract

One of the most important principles in heat exchangers is to increase heat transfer and minimize pressure drop. In the present work, a two-tube spiral heat exchanger equipped with a conical turbulator is considered. In the first part of this analysis, the diameter of the inner spiral coil was investigated. In the second part of the study, the effect of the type of working fluid on heat transfer and the hydrodynamic factors of the fluid were investigated. In the first part of the study, the results showed that the highest value of thermal performance was at the lowest Reynolds number and the value of thermal performance at this Reynolds number (Reynolds = 250) was for diameters of 42 mm, 46 mm. and 50 mm was 35, 20 and 30 percent higher than the number 1. In the second part of the study, the results showed that the thermal performance values for Water/SWCNT_MWCNT, Water/Al2O3_TiO2 and pure water were 39 %, 37 % and 35 % higher than 1, respectively, which indicates the great effect of the conical turbulator and nanohybrid fluids in improving heat transfer. This study showed that the use of the innovative conical turbulator significantly improves heat transfer and increases the efficiency of the studied double-tube spiral heat exchanger. Therefore, the use of the conical turbulator has a significant effect on increasing the thermal performance of the intended heat exchanger and the use of this type of turbulator is recommended in the industry.

期刊介绍： Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
