Numerical investigation of thermal-hydraulic characteristics in cross-flow heat exchangers with different twisted oval tubes

This study presents a new strategy to strengthen the flow and thermal performance of gas-liquid tube bundle heat exchangers by combining oval tubes with variable-direction twist method. The effects of twist direction, twist angle and flow velocity on the overall performance were investigated. The va...
