Thermal Performance Investigation of Twisted Tube Heat Exchanger

Anand Patel

Abstract: The heat transfer which having greater importance from industrial points of view particularly in process industries and one of the best application of heat transfer is heat exchanger like condenser, evaporator, boiler etc. Nowadays with need of more efficient thermal systems with high rate of heat transfer at faster rate and with compact in size is the major requirement of new heat exchanger and to overcome such difficult in the objective of present work is to fabricate pipe in pipe liquid-liquid twisted heat exchanger and results were compare with conventional straight tube heat exchanger. The K type thermocouples are used for measurement purpose and the experimental set up is fabricated from copper pipes and copper sheets.
