Turbulent forced convection heat transfer in triangular cross sectioned helically coiled tube

Abstract: A three-dimensional turbulent forced convective heat transfer and flow characteristic, in a helical triangular cross sectioned coiled tube is simulated using the k-ɛ standard turbulence model and compared to results corresponding to circular cross sectioned helical tube. A finite element method is employed to solve the governing equations. The effects of Reynolds number, on Nusselt number, velocity and temperature profiles are discussed. The numerical computations show the developments and distributions of hea… Show more

“…The governing equations for the turbulent pipe flow configurations were solved using the COMSOL Muti-physics CFD code; further details about the numerical procedure can be found in Elashmawy and Kolsi (2016). Numerical predictions were tested at different mesh sizes and grid -independent solutions were obtained with the grids presented in Table 1.…”
