The effects of loose-fit twisted tape (LFT) on the heat transfer rate, friction factor, fluid phenomena and thermal performance of a tube under constant wall temperature are examined. It is observed that apart from the rise of Reynolds number, the reduction of the clearance ratio (c/D) leads to an increase in the heat transfer and pressure loss. According to the numerical results, the heat transfer and friction factor in the tubes with loose-fit twisted tape (LFT) for the smallest clearance ratio of c/D = 0.05 are higher those other clearance ratios. In addition, the thermal performances of clearance ratio c/D = 0.05 are found to be higher than those other clearance ratios (c/D) for all Reynolds numbers examined.
