Enhance The Heat Transfer Rate of Heat Exchanger

Abstract

Heat exchangers are popular used in industrial and engineering applications. The design procedure of heat exchangers is quite complicated, as it needs exact analysis of heat transfer rate, efficiency and pressure drop apart from issues such as long - term performance and the economic aspect of the equipment. Whenever inserts technologies are used for the heat transfer enhancement, along with the improvement in the heat transfer rate, the pressure drop also increases, which induces the higher pumping cost. Therefore any augmentation device or methods utilized into the heat exchanger should be optimized between the benefits of heat transfer coefficient and the higher pumping cost owing to the increased frictional losses. So, if we provided fins rectangular or circular type on internal periphery of the tube type heat exchanger than the heat transfer rate will going to be increased.
