Study the effect of axially perforated twisted tapes on the thermal performance enhancement factor of a double tube heat exchanger

The main objective of this numerical study is to investigate the ways to reduce the pressure drop and consequently increase thermal performance enhancement factor (TEF) of a heat exchanger equipped with twisted tapes. For this purpose, axial perforated twisted tapes (PTTs) with various hole diameter...
