A Parametric Study on the Performance of a Helical Type of Internally Finned Tube

We study the performance of a helical type of internally finned tube (HIFT), using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to obtain optimal temperature uniformity and reduce the pressure drop. In comparison with a bare tube, the HIFT improved the temperature uniformity with a helix length of 10 d, which...
