Experimental investigation of heat transfer enhancement in heat transfer coefficient of shell and helical coil tube heat exchanger with and without addition nanofluid is carried out in the present work. Experimental work is included two parts: the first one is included design of helical coil heat exchanger with optimum curvature ratio (17), an optimum helical coil pitch has been used to study the heat transfer coefficient without nanofluid. The second part is included studying the effect of using (Oxide Titanium TiO2) nanoparticle powder with 20 nm diameter is dispersed in distilled water with different volume concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) % by volume on heat transfer coefficient. The experimental results showed that, when nanofluid was used there is an increase in heat transfer coefficient and thermal conductivity by (20) %. An empirical correlation has been found to show the variation of Nusselt number with Dean number by using nano fluid with error of (±5%).

Abstract The shell and coil heat exchangers are commonly used in heating, ventilation, nuclear industry, process plant, heat recovery and air conditioning systems. This type of recuperators benefits from simple construction, the low value of pressure drops and high heat transfer. In helical coil, centrifugal force is acting on the moving fluid due to the curvature of the tube results in the development. It has been long recognized that the heat transfer in the helical tube is much better than in the straight ones because of the occurrence of secondary flow in planes normal to the main flow inside the helical structure. Helical tubes show good performance in heat transfer enhancement, while the uniform curvature of spiral structure is inconvenient in pipe installation in heat exchangers. Authors have presented their own construction of shell and tube heat exchanger with intensified heat transfer. The purpose of this article is to assess the influence of the surface modification over the performance coefficient and effectiveness. The experiments have been performed for the steady-state heat transfer. Experimental data points were gathered for both laminar and turbulent flow, both for co current- and countercurrent flow arrangement. To find optimal heat transfer intensification on the shell-side authors applied the number of transfer units analysis.
