Influence of helix twisted tape on heat transfer and friction factor in forced circulation V-trough solar water heater

The effect of helix twisted tape with several twist ratios (Y = 3, 4, 5 and 6) in a V-trough solar water heater for enhancing heat transfer, thermal performance and the friction factor has been examined experimentally in forced circulation with the Reynolds number ranging from 3000 to 23,000. The ex...
