Abstract

In the heat exchanger, heat will be transferred from hot fluid to cold fluid through a metal pipe. In these, fluids will pass on the metallic surface of pipe but with the application of fins more area will be available for heat as well as motion of fluid also interrupted to support more heat transfer. The helical fins on tube of heat exchangers will transfer more heat as it will create a swirl motion along the periphery of the pipe as fluid moves towards the exit. As helical fins provide pathways for the swirl motion, the path governs the movement of the fluid; hence, change in path of the fluid by changing the pitch of the helical fins also have impact on the heat transfer. Hence, in this study effect of helical fins and varying pitch of the fins on the heat transfer in heat exchanger will be studied.
