Aim of this review work is to examine the relative advantage of using an inclined helical coil tube heat exchanger for high-pressure syngas under various industries application. It observed that the heat transfer in the helical coil tube is higher as compared to the straight tube due to their shape. Inclined helical coil tube heat exchanger offers advantageous over straight tubes due to their compactness and increased heat transfer coefficient. The increased heat transfer coefficients are a consequence of the curvature of the coil, which induces centrifugal forces to act on the moving syngas. Due to the curvature effect, the fluid streams in the outer side of the pipe moves faster than the syngas streams on the inner side of the tube. Heat transfer augmentation techniques refer to various methods used to increase the heat transfer rate without changing much the overall performance of the system. The arrangements are useful in a variety of applications where more heat transfer rates desired. Some of the claims involved in heat exchanger used in Thermal Power plants, process industries, air-conditioning equipment, heating and cooling in evaporators, radiators for space vehicles, automobiles, refrigerators. These techniques broadly of three types viz. passive, active, compound heat transfer augmentation techniques. The present paper reviews the experimental investigation of free and forced convection heat transfer from different helical coiled tubes.

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.

The experiments on heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop and thermal stress were done to heat exchangers with corrugated tubes and staight tubes. By analyising and comparing the heat transfer coeffient, pressure drop in tube side and shell side and axial force and stress, some conclusions can be conducted that the corrugated tube heat exchanger has better heat transfer coeffient, higher pressure drop and much lower stress caused by temperatur difference, also, it has obvious advantages under the circumstance of low Reynolds number and high temperature difference.

The heat transfer performance of a crossflow shell-and-tube heat exchanger for high-temperature use in which heat transfer is augmented by the use of wall radiation in both shell and tube sides, is studied. Radiation plates are inserted in the shell side, and twisted cross-tapes in the tube side. Overall heat transfer coefficients are measured to be about a maximum 80 percent larger than those without radiation, where the inlet temperatures of the hot gas range up to 800 °C, while those of the cold gas are about room temperature. Analytical results agree well with experimental results, and an approximate calculation procedure is found to be simple and accurate enough for practical use.

The present investigation constitutes CFD analysis of the heat transmission phenomenon in a tube heat exchanger with a Y-shaped insert with triangular perforation. The analysis is accomplished by considering air as a working fluid with a Reynolds number ranging from 3000 to 21,000. The segment considered for analysis consists of a circular tube of 68 mm diameter and 1.5 m length. The geometrical parameter considered is the perforation index (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%). The constant heat flux is provided at the tube wall and a pressure-based solver is used for the solution. The studies are performed for analyzing the effects of inserts on the heat transfer and friction factor in the circular tube heat exchanger which results in augmented heat transfer at a higher perforation index (PI) and lower friction factor. The investigation results show that the highest heat transfer is 5.84 times over a simple plain tube and the maximum thermal performance factor (TPF) is 3.25 at PI = 30%, Re = 3000.

In this study, the effect of the design on the heat transfer is numerically investigated by using the "wavy inner tube" in a double-pipe heat exchanger. A wavy inner tube was used in the design to give a turbulent effect to the fluid along the inner tube of a double tube heat exchanger. In numerical study, ANSYS 12.0 Fluent code program was used, and the basic protection equations were solved for steady-state, three-dimensional and turbulent flow conditions. The study was examined at Reynolds numbers ranging from 2700 to 5300. The obtained results were compared with the experimental data performed under the same conditions. As a result of this comparison, after it was seen that the results obtained from the numerical analysis and the experimental results were compatible with each other, the wave number of the inner tube was increased and analyzed with the ANSYS fluent code program. When the data obtained as a result of the analyzes were evaluated, it was seen that the highest heat transfer was obtained from the 16 wave tube heat exchanger, which has the highest number of waves and under counter flow conditions. The increase in heat transfer increased by 270% compared to the straight tube.
