AbstractHeat transfer studies in a coiled agitated vessel with varying heat input is presented using two agitators namely propeller and disk turbine. Heat transfer rate increases with agitator speed for both the agitators for a given heat input. The heat transfer coefficient also increases with heat input for a given agitator speed for turbine agitator for all the heat inputs, whereas for propeller it is increasing up to a certain value and then decreases. The heat transfer coefficient (heat transfer rate) for turbine agitator is higher than that for propeller for all heat inputs. Empirical correlations separately were formed for each agitator and found to fit the experimental values within range of ±15% for both the agitators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
