Abstract

The objective of this paper is to review on the investigation made by different researchers for heat transfer enhancement in shell & tube heat exchanger by using Al2O3 nanofluid and the design modification with twisted tapes. The twisted tape insert is incorporated in tubes within the system. The use of the twisted tapes causes the swirl flow that enhances the heat transfer coefficient considerably. Basically heat exchanger is equipment which transfers the energy from hot fluid to a cold fluid, with maximum rate, minimum investment and running cost. Now due to the limitation of fossil fuels, subject to energy consumption optimization in various industrial processes becomes very important. The authors found that variously developed twisted tape inserts are popular researched and used to strengthen the heat transfer efficiency for heat exchangers.
