Augmented thermal performance in a non-uniform heat flux circular tube with twisted tape insert using hybrid nanofluid
The influence of non-uniform heat transfer on a circular tube with a twisted tape insert using nanofluid (NF) is examined. The circular tube had an inner diameter 20 mm, with 0.5 mm thickness and 2 m of length. Wall heat flux conditions were examined for Reynolds number ranging from 5 000 to 25 000....

| Sumario: | The influence of non-uniform heat transfer on a circular tube with a twisted tape insert using nanofluid (NF) is examined. The circular tube had an inner diameter 20 mm, with 0.5 mm thickness and 2 m of length. Wall heat flux conditions were examined for Reynolds number ranging from 5 000 to 25 000. Heat flux distribution included partial heating at different circumferential positions. Water was used as a base fluid, while single and multi-nano particles are used for simple and hybrid nanofluids (HNF). The goal of this study is to augment the thermal performance by incorporating non-uniform heating, using a twisted tape insert and by using nanoparticle of different volume fraction. NF act as a fluid additive and twisted tape act as a turbulence promoter and they enhance the heat transfer rate. However, major disadvantage in this investigation is the pressure drop incurred due to the twisted tape and NFs. Hence, a series of simulation are carried out to find out the optimum configuration of the set-up for which heat transfer will be enhanced with minimum pressure drop. |
