Numerical and Experimental Investigations on Performance Evaluation of a Conical Offset Vortex Generator Inserts to Improve Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient
Abstract:The passive augmentation technique is widely used by researchers from thermal engineering field and it has shown excellent results for convective heat transfer rate. This paper shows the numerical and experimental findings for convective heat transfer characteristics and friction coefficient. Tests were conducted for turbulent flow, using air as medium through a uniformly heated steel pipe containing a novel kind of insert named as Conical offset Vortex Generator (COVG). The simulation tests were performed for… Show more
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.
