Abstract

Annular fins and winged insert are utilized in the helically coil to upgrade the shell and curled pipe heat exchanger, and furthermore, the frictional and heat attributes are introduced in this paper. The experimental examination is done in four methods of activity. Water is utilized as the liquid in the heat exchanger. In the primary mode, the winged insert is in the coiled tube, and the annular blades are on the external surface tube. In the subsequent mode, just the addition is set inside the coiled tube. In the third mode, just the annular fins are fitted above the external side of the curled tube. In the fourth mode, an empty tube is analyzed. From the previous study, this work differs in the use of the turbulator which has a novel design of thorn like projections present along the length of the insert which was not used before. Findings demonstrated that for the coil tube inner diameter of 10 mm, shell length of 700 mm, and annular fin surface are of 4 mm2, the greatest estimation of effectiveness and the overall heat transfer coefficient (O-hTc) are acquired as 0.62 and 148.18 W/m2K for the arrangement of coil with embed and annular blade at Qshell = 5 LPM, QCoil = 1 L per minute (LPM).
