description This paper aims to numerically investigate the effects of turbulence-inducing elements with various geometries in a double pipe Heat Exchanger (HEX). The water is considered as a working fluid and the flow is turbulent. Also, CFD simulation has been carried out by finite volume method within commercial software. In the first section, the various geometries, including smooth tube, corrugated tube, tube with spherical elements, and a tube with axial fins, are evaluated. Subsequently, the heat transfer characteristics of two various hybrid nanoparticles comprise Ag-MoS2 and Fe3O4-SiO2, are compared. Ultimately, the optimized geometry has been selected for adding hybrid nanoparticles of Ag-MoS2 to enhancing heat transfer performance. The obtain results indicate that the double tube heat exchanger with the spherical elements has the best thermal performance. In addition, with changing the Reynolds number from 4000 to 13,000 in the optimized model with Ag-MoS2 1%, the convective heat transfer coefficient enhances 62.21%.
