Tube side performance of new efficient composite enhanced heat exchanger
By building a platform for testing heat transfer and pressure drop performance
the thermal performance and flow resistance on the tube side of an internally ribbed twisted tube heat exchanger are examined. Based on the experimental result
correlations for the heat transfer coefficient and friction factor with tube side Reynolds number are obtained. This paper compares and analyzes the heat transfer
pressure drop and comprehensive performance of internally ribbed twisted tube
smooth twisted tube
internally ribbed circular tube
and general smooth tube with similar geometric parameters. The results show that although the internally ribbed twisted tube gives slightly higher flow resistance
it presents the highest heat transfer coefficient and comprehensive performance among these tubes. The coupled enhancement effects for heat transfer resulted from internal rib and twisted tube are obvious
and this structure will be widely used in the industry.
