  • Abstract:
  • This study investigated the influence of twisted tape inserts on heat transfer enhancement within a heat exchanger using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. The primary objective was to elucidate the correlation between the number of turns in the twisted tape and key performance parameters such as heat transfer rate, pressure drop, and overall exchanger effectiveness. A three-dimensional CFD model of the heat exchanger geometry was developed, incorporating twisted tape inserts with varying numbers of turns. The employed turbulence models accurately captured the complex flow behaviour induced by the twisted tapes. By simulating fluid flow and thermal behaviour within the exchanger, the research aimed to establish a relationship between twisted tape geometry, flow patterns, and the resulting heat transfer performance.
