This document describes an experimental study of heat transfer in a rectangular duct with and without internal V-shaped ribs. Experiments were conducted with air flow in turbulent regime (Reynolds numbers 3000-18000) in smooth duct and ducts with continuous or discrete internal V-shaped ribs. Temperature and pressure measurements were taken to determine heat transfer coefficients and friction factors for different configurations. Results showed that continuous ribs enhanced heat transfer more than discrete ribs, but also increased pressure drop more substantially. Heat transfer enhancement was dependent on rib geometry and position.

FLUID FLOW ANALYSIS IN AIR DUCT FLOW WITH AND WITHOUT INTERNAL THREADS USING ...IAEME Publication
Computational heat transfer flow modeling is one of the great challenges in the classical sciences. As with most problems in engineering, the interest in the heat transfer augmentation is increasing due to its extreme importance in various industrial applications. This paper deals with the analysis of heat transfer for fluid flowing through the pipe with and without internal threads using CFD. Using CFD codes for modeling the heat and fluid flow is an efficient tool for predicting equipment performance. CFD offers a convenient means to study the detailed flows and heat exchange processes, which take place inside the tube. Simulations were carried out using commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent version 14.5. Friction factor and Nusselt number for air flowing through the specified tube (internal diameter = 0.005 m, length = 0.1 m) were obtained first for the plain tube and then for the tube with internal threads with pitch 5mm in the Reynolds number range of 2000 to 5000. Finally results will be compared to available experimental and analytical calculations. The data obtained by simulation are matching with the literature value for a plain tube with the discrepancy of less than plus or minus 5% for Nusselt number and for the friction factor.
Enhanced heat transfer for the tube with internal threads has been observed. Heat flux is more uniform all along the tube and decreases uniformly towards the center.

This document summarizes an experimental study on heat transfer augmentation from surfaces with dimples. Six steel plates with varying dimple densities and arrangements were tested to analyze heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics. Temperature and pressure measurements were taken under varying air flow rates and heat inputs. It was found that heat transfer, as indicated by Nusselt number, increased with increasing dimple density. Staggered dimple arrangements provided greater enhancement than inline arrangements. Mathematical equations are presented for calculating key parameters like heat transfer coefficient, Reynolds number, and friction factor. Results are discussed and heat transfer is seen to increase with Reynolds number for all plates, with the 50 dimple plate performing best.

This document summarizes a study on the thermal analysis of circular inclined pipes subjected to natural convection using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The study investigated the effect of parameters like tube diameter, heat supplied, and tube inclination on the temperature and heat transfer coefficient through experimental testing and CFD analysis. The experimental results were validated against CFD results, with less than 5% error found between the two. It was found that temperature increased with increasing pipe diameter and heat supply. The temperature was also strongly influenced by heat flux and diameter, and weakly dependent on tube inclination.
This document summarizes an experimental study on heat transfer enhancement from surface roughness at laminar flow. Specifically, it examines using circular and oval dimples on an aluminum plate to increase heat transfer from the plate to air flowing over it at Reynolds numbers from 600 to 2000. The study finds that both circular and oval dimples enhance heat transfer compared to a flat plate, while maintaining equivalent or lower pressure drops. The experimental results are validated by comparing the measured Nusselt numbers to theoretical values for a plain vertical plate under laminar flow conditions. In general, the dimpled surfaces increase thermal performance without significantly increasing pressure drops compared to a smooth surface.
An Experimental Research on Heat Transfer Enhancement of a Circular Tube with...IRJESJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- In the literature, internal tube baffles are widely studied. There is a lack of data for baffles mounted on outside of the tubes. This study aims to fill this gap. Therefore, the effect of baffle inclination angles on heat transfer improvement has been studied experimentally. The experiments were carried out for forced convection of air on a circular tube with inclined baffles. Air has been used as the cold fluid. Experimental results for eight different velocities of air flow (2 – 20 m/s) are presented. Pitch between baffles is 12 mm.The baffle inclination angles with respect to the tube axis were 45º, 60º and 80º. Water temperature is fixed as 65 °C. According to the experimental results, the baffles with an inclination angle of 45º enhance the heat transfer over 60º and 80º around 13.7 % and 10.5 %, respectively. However, pressure drop values for 45º and 60º are 18 % higher than pressure drop values for 80º. The empirical correlations of the Nusselt number have also been obtained for each angle.
Heat transfer enhancement and friction factor analysis in tube using conical ...eSAT Journals
Abstract Role of the conical spring array for the heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop change in a pipe with constant heat flux boundary condition was investigated. Three different arrangements of conical spring array inserts were used in the experimental setup. Conical spring inserts with diverging conical spring, converging-diverging conical spring and converging conical spring array inserts arrangements were used. Water was used as a working fluid in the experimental setup. It was found that use of conical spring array inserts arrangement leads to enhancement in heat transfer. Higher heat transfer rate was achieved in the divergent spring array arrangement than the converging-diverging and converging arrangement. However, maximum friction factor is achieved in the diverging spring array insert arrangement. By increasing the Reynolds Number for different turbulator arrangement, the significant increase in Nusselt number was obtained. The enhancement in Nusselt Number for the diverging, converging-diverging, converging conical spring array arrangement was 645% ,431% and 259% respectively. The heat transfer enhancement efficiency can be evaluated based on the power consumption per unit mass of fluid. Heat transfer enhancement efficiencies were found for the divergent spring array arrangement up to 277% and for the convergent-divergent spring arrangement up to 212% and for the convergent spring array arrangement up to 153%.

This document reviews the use of an internal threaded tube in a concentric tube heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer rates. It discusses how passive heat transfer augmentation techniques like threaded tubes can increase turbulence and disrupt boundary layers to improve heat transfer efficiency. The review analyzes previous studies that experimentally compared heat transfer performance and pressure drop between plain and threaded inner tubes. Results indicated that threaded tubes increased heat transfer coefficients and Reynolds numbers while potentially reducing fouling compared to plain tubes. Further experimentation and CFD simulation were proposed to validate theoretical predictions and determine the threaded tube design's feasibility for applications like radiators and air conditioners.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE ANALYSIS OF HEAT ENHANCEMENT IN CORRUGATED TWISTED ...P singh
In heat exchanger, the enthalpy is transferred between two or more fluids, at different temperatures. The major challenge in designing a heat exchanger is to make the equipment more compact and achieve a high heat transfer rate using minimum pumping power. In recent years, the high cost of energy and material has resulted in an increased effort aimed at producing more efficient heat exchange equipment. Furthermore, as a heat exchanger becomes older, the resistance to heat transfer increases owing to fouling or scaling. The heat transfer rate can be improved by introducing a disturbance in the fluid flow thereby breaking the viscous and thermal boundary layer. However, in the process pumping power may increase significantly and ultimately the pumping cost becomes high. Therefore, to achieve a desired heat transfer rate in an existing heat exchanger at an economic pumping power, several techniques have been proposed in recent years and are discussed under the classification section.
In this work, a study of transient heat transfer in double tube heat exchanger has enhanced. The inner tube of the setup was made with corrugation on both inner and outer walls by twisting the pipe from one end, which gives the more swirling motion to the fluid particles flowing over it. The flow inside the pipe was considered as turbulent, and the analysis was done experimentally and theoretically by using the ANSYS workbench. The experimental results were compared with the experimental values taken in the setup done by considering the inner tube as normal pipe. In both heat exchangers the values were taken and compared with the theoretical analysis. Temperature distribution and heat transfer rate were calculated and the details of the study have been discussed in this paper.

The document provides 10 reasons why students should not write their master's dissertation on sexual violence in war. It discusses how focusing solely on this topic can narrow political focus, inspire voyeurism in researching trauma, invoke colonial stereotypes, provide an insufficient historical account, ignore ethical dilemmas, neglect perspectives and positionality, encourage singular narratives that reinforce binaries, promote a non-feminist standpoint, inspire problematic proximity or distance, and result in replication rather than new insights. It encourages focusing studies on broader topics of gender, violence and militarism instead of continually reproducing analyses of sexual violence in war.

The system first preprocesses raw ECG data by removing noise and segmenting the signals. It then uses a CNN to extract features directly from the ECG data and classify arrhythmias without requiring complex feature engineering. The CNN architecture contains 11 convolutional layers and is optimized using techniques like batch normalization and dropout. The system was tested on ECG datasets and achieved classification accuracy of over 93%, demonstrating its effectiveness at automated ECG classification.
This document presents a new algorithm for extracting and summarizing news from online newspapers. The algorithm first extracts news related to the topic using keyword matching. It then distinguishes different types of news about the same topic. A term frequency-based summarization method is used to generate summaries. Sentences are scored based on term frequency and the highest scoring sentences are selected for the summary. The algorithm was evaluated on news datasets from various newspapers and showed good performance in intrinsic evaluation metrics like precision, recall and F-score. Thus, the proposed method can effectively extract and summarize online news for a given keyword or topic.

ABSTARCT:
In this present work, Experiments were performed to collect heat transfer and friction data for forced
convection flow of air in rectangular duct with and without internal ribs. The analysis was conducted
within the range of Reynolds number from 3000 to 18000. The horizontal rectangular duct was subjected
to constant and uniform heat flux. Experimental results for this configuration are reported for three
different channels viz., smooth rectangular duct, rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped ribs and
rectangular duct with discrete V- shaped ribs. The effects of internal ribs on the heat transfer coefficient
and friction factor are compared with the result of smooth duct under similar flow conditions.
Experimental results show that the local Nusselt number distribution is strongly depended on the
position, orientation, and geometry of the ribs. The friction factor ratio goes up with an increase in the
Reynolds number, but its value depends on the arrangement of ribs. The results also show that the
discrete V- shaped ribs produce overall less heat transfer enhancement than the continuous V- shaped
ribs. However, the increased heat transfer enhancement in the continuous V- shaped ribs came at the cost
of an increased pressure penalty.
Keywords: Heat transfer augmentation; Forced convection heat transfer; Internal ribs; Rectangular duct.

1. INTRODUCTION
Heat exchangers have been widely employed in several industrial and engineering applications. The Techniques
for enhancing heat transfer are relevant to several engineering applications. In recent years, the high cost of
energy and material has resulted in an increased effort aimed at producing more efficient heat exchange
equipment. The heat transfer rate can be improved by introducing a disturbance in the fluid flow (breaking the
viscous and thermal boundary layers), but in the process, pumping power may increase significantly and
ultimately the pumping cost becomes high. Therefore, to achieve a desired heat transfer rate in an existing heat
exchanger at an economic pumping power, several techniques have been proposed in recent years. The great
attempt on utilizing different methods is to increase the heat transfer rate through the compulsory force
convection. The meanwhile, it is found that this way can reduce the sizes of the heat exchanger device and save
up the energy. M. Sozen and T.M. Kuzay [1] numerically studied the enhanced heat transfer in round tubes
filled with rolled copper mesh at Reynolds number range of 5,000-19,000. With water as the energy transport
fluid and the tube being subjected to uniform heat flux, they reported up to ten fold increase in heat transfer
coefficient with brazed porous inserts relative to plain tube at the expense of highly increased pressure drop. Q.
Liao and M.D. Xin [2] carried out experiments to study the heat transfer and friction characteristics for water,
ethylene glycol and ISOVG46 turbine oil flowing inside four tubes with three dimensional internal extended
surfaces and copper continuous or segmented twisted tape inserts within Prandtl number range from 5.5 to 590
and Reynolds numbers from 80 to 50,000. They found that for laminar flow of VG46 turbine oil, the average

Stanton number could be enhanced up to 5.8 times with friction factor increase of 6.5 fold compared to plain
tube. D. Angirasa [3] performed experiments that proved augmentation of heat transfer by using metallic fibrous
materials with two different porosities namely 97% and 93%. The experiments were carried out for different
Reynolds numbers (17,000-29,000) and power inputs (3.7 and 9.2 W). The improvement in the average Nusselt
number was about 3-6 times in comparison with the case when no porous material was used. Fu et al. [4]
experimentally demonstrated that a channel filled with high conductivity porous material subjected to oscillating
flow is a new and effective method of cooling electronic devices. The experimental investigations of Hsieh and
Liu [5] reported that Nusselt numbers were between four and two times the bare values at low Re and high Re
respectively. Bogdan and Abdulmajeed et al. [6] numerically investigated the effect of metallic porous
materials, inserted in a pipe, on the rate of heat transfer. The pipe was subjected to a constant and uniform heat
flux. The effects of porosity, porous material diameter and thermal conductivity as well as Reynolds number on
the heat transfer rate and pressure drop were investigated. The results were compared with the clear flow case
where no porous material was used. The results obtained lead to the conclusion that higher heat transfer rates
can be achieved using porous inserts at the expense of a reasonable pressure drop. Smith et. al. [7] investigated
the heat transfer enhancement and pressure loss by insertion of single twisted tape, full length dual and regularly
spaced dual twisted tapes as swirl generators in round tube under axially uniform wall heat flux conditions.
Chinaruk Thianpong et.al. [8] Experimentally investigated the friction and compound heat transfer behavior in
dimpled tube fitted with twisted tape swirl generator for a fully developed flow for Reynolds number in the
range of 12000 to 44000. Whitham [9] studied heat transfer enhancement by means of a twisted tape insert way
back at the end of the nineteenth century. Date and Singham [10] numerically investigated heat transfer
enhancement in laminar, viscous liquid flows in a tube with a uniform heat flux boundary condition. They
idealized the flow conditions by assuming zero tape thickness, but the twist and fin effects of the twisted tape
were included in their analysis. Saha et al. [11] have shown that, for a constant heat flux boundary condition,
regularly spaced twisted tape elements do not perform better than full-length twisted tape because the swirl
breaks down in-between the spacing of a regularly twisted tape. Rao and Sastri [12], while working with a
rotating tube with a twisted tape insert, observed that the enhancement of heat transfer offsets the rise in the
friction factor owing to rotation. Sivashanmugam and Sundaram [13] and Agarwal and Rao [14] studied the
thermohydraulic characteristics of tape-generated swirl flow. Peterson et al. [15] experimented with high-
pressure (8–16 MPa) water as the test liquid in turbulent flow with low heat fluxes and low wall–fluid
temperature differences typical of a liquid–liquid heat exchanger.
The present experimental study investigates the increase in the heat transfer rate in a rectangular duct heated
with a constant uniform heat flux with air flowing inside it using continuous and discrete V-shaped internal ribs
of same geometrical configuration. The present work has been carried out with turbulent flow (Re number range
of 3,000-18,000) as most of the flow problems in industrial heat exchangers involve turbulent flow region.
2. EXPERIMENTAL WORK
2.1. Experimental Setup
The apparatus consists of a blower unit fitted with a pipe, which is connected to the test section located in
horizontal orientation. Nichrome bend heater encloses the test section to a length of 50 cm. Four thermocouples
T2, T3 and T4 at a distance of 11 cm, 22 cm, 33 cm and 44 cm from the origin of the heating zone are
embedded on the walls of the tube and two thermocouples are placed in the air stream, one at the entrance (T1)
and the other at the exit (T5) of the test section to measure the temperature of flowing air as shown in Fig. 1.
The pipe system consists of a valve, which controls the airflow rate through it and an orifice meter to find the
volume flow rate of air through the system. The diameter of the orifice is 1.4 cm and coefficient of discharge is
0.64. The two pressure tapings of the orifice meter are connected to a water U-tube manometer to indicate the
pressure difference between them. Input to heater is given through dimmer stat. Display unit consists of

voltmeter, ammeter and temperature indicator. The circuit was designed for a load voltage of 0-220 V; with a
maximum current of 10 A. Difference in the levels of manometer fluid represents the variations in the flow rate
of air. The velocity of airflow in the tube is measured with the help of orifice plate and the water manometer
fitted on board.
2.2 Procedure
Air was made to flow though the test duct by means of blower motor. A heat input of 60 W was given to the
nichrome heating wire wound on the test duct by adjusting the dimmer stat. The test duct was insulated in order
to avoid the loss of heat energy to the surrounding. Thermocouples 2 to 4 were fixed on the test surface and
thermocouples 1 and 5 were fixed inside the pipe. The readings of the thermocouples were observed every 5
minutes until the steady state condition was achieved. Under steady state condition, the readings of all the five
thermocouples were recorded. The experiments were repeated for different channels viz., rectangular duct with
continuous V- shaped ribs and rectangular duct with discrete V- shaped ribs. The fluid properties were
calculated as the average between the inlet and the outlet bulk temperature. Experiments were carried out at
constant heat input and constant mass flow rate, for all the three test ducts.

3. DATA REDUCTION
The data reduction of the measured results is summarized in the following procedures:
The heat transfer coefficient for the “i” wall segment was calculated using the net heat input to the wall; the wall
temperature and the bulk mean temperature as
hi= qi / As,i (Tw,i - Tb,i) (1)
The actual heat going into the duct is given by the amount of power supplied which is the product of voltage
applied and the current flowing in the circuit minus the amount of heat loss from each plate. The flexible heaters
were assumed to supply uniform heat to all the test ducts. The heat loss from the test section to the surrounding
was calculated experimentally by conducting a no-flow condition. The heat loss to the surrounding was found to
vary between 5-15% for various Reynolds number. The major heat loss was found to occur through the thick
wired copper thermocouples installed in each wall segment.
The Nusselt number was normalized using the Nusselt number correlation for a fully developed flow in
a smooth duct. The relative uncertainty on Nusselt number was found to be 5%.
Nu / Nuo = (hDh/ K) [0.023 Re 0.8

] (2)
All the temperatures were measured using the thermocouples. The bulk mean air temperature at the inlet and the
exit was measured using the thermocouples and the bulk mean temperature at the end of each test duct was
calculated using the formula given by
Tb,out = Tb,in + q/ (m Cp ) (3)
The pressure drop measured with a micro-manometer across the test section, was used to calculate the friction
factor. The relation between pressure drop and friction factor is given by

4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Heat Transfer Distribution for smooth rectangular duct, rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped ribs
and rectangular duct with discrete V- shaped ribs:
The Nusselt number was found to increase with increasing Reynolds number. The reason attributed to this
behavior is as Reynolds number increases the turbulent mixing is enhanced in the channel, which leads to

effective removal of heat. However, the Nusselt number ratio, which is obtained by normalizing the average
Nusselt number with the fully developed turbulent flow in smooth test tube correlated by Dittus Boelter, was
found to decrease as shown in Fig 3.
In the case of smooth test duct the variation of Nusselt number ratio with increasing Reynolds number is very
small as there is no flow separation and reattachments in this case and so Reynolds number does not have any
effect on the heat transfer augmentation. Therefore, the Nusselt number ratio for all four Reynolds number
follow a similar trend. The Nusselt number ratio was found to be highest for the lowest Reynolds number and
lowest for the highest Reynolds number. It was found to vary between 2.15 and 1.1 along the axial direction.

Fig.3 Effect of Reynolds Number on Heat Transfer Distribution for Smooth Rectangular duct
The heat transfer augmentation for rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped ribs was found to increase by
factor of 1.7 to 2.1 in comparison to the smooth rectangular duct and by a factor of 1.06 to 1.20 in comparison to
the rectangular duct with discrete V- shaped ribs. The increase in heat transfer coefficient is attributed to the
induction of cross-stream secondary flow, which results in better turbulent mixing.

Fig.5 Effect of Reynolds Number on Heat Transfer Distribution for Rectangular duct with discrete V- shaped ribs
Friction Factor Characteristics for smooth rectangular duct, rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped
ribs and rectangular duct with discrete V- shaped ribs:
The friction factor ratio was found to increase with increase in Reynolds number due to the resistance offered to
the flow of fluid. The heat transverse augmentation was found to vary between 1.5-2 for the rectangular duct
with discrete V- shaped ribs and 2-2.5 for the rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped ribs. This
enhancement in both the cases was accompanied by pressure drop penalty of 1.5 to 3 on the rectangular duct
with discrete V- shaped ribs and 3 to 4 on the rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped ribs. The rectangular
duct with continuous V- shaped ribs produced 20 % to 40% higher pressure drop when compared to the
rectangular duct with discrete V- shaped ribs for the complete range of Reynolds number investigated.

Thermal Performance:
Thermal performance for the plate with internal ribs is drawn as below in fig. 7, shows that thermal performance
is increasing with increase in Reynolds number. But the thermal performance for rectangular duct with discrete
V- shaped ribs is poor as compared to the rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped ribs. This is due more
turbulence and strong vortex formation in rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped ribs. Also it reflects that
thermal performance of rectangular duct with continuous V- shaped ribs is more than one which means applying
continuous V- shaped ribs is beneficial to increase heat transfer enhancement.
