Good Agreement

This work presents the effect of V cut and square cut rotors in circular tubes for turbulent heat transfer using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. The computational results are in good agreement with experimental data. The obtained results reveal that the use of square cut rotors leads to higher Nusselt number than use of V cut rotors. The results also show that the heat transfer rate, friction factor and thermal performance factor of rotors with square cut increase with the increase of width (a) and depth (b) of rotors’ cut. Square cut rotors with a=b=3 yields higher mean thermal performance factor than those with other width and depth, a=b=1, 2 and the highest thermal performance factor of square cut rotors at a=b=1, 2, 3 are found to be 2.08, 2.11 and 2.13.
