Saat ini kebutuhan akan energi di dunia terus meningkat, sejalan dengan semakin tumbuhnya industri untuk menopang kehidupan manusia. Namun kenaikan kebutuhan energi tersebut tidak diimbangi dengan bertambahnya sumber energi, sehingga harga energi semakin mahal. Untuk meminimalisir kebutuhan energi, maka perlu dicari sumber-sumber energi alternatif baru, terutama sumber energi baru dan terbarukan. Disamping itu perlu dilakukan pengelolaan energi yang lebih baik, sehingga kebutuhan energi dunia bisa dikurangi. Double Pipe Heat exchanger memiliki pipa luar stainless steel dengan diameter dalam (Do) 3,5 inchi, ketebalan pipa (To) 1,5 mm, dan panjang pipa (Lo)  790mm dan pipa dalam (Di) 1 3/8 inchi,   ketebalan(Ti) 0,6 mm, dan panjang pipa (Li) 920mm, dengan air dingin dan air panas yang digunakan sebagai fluida uji di annulus dan pipa dalam. Helical turbulator dari besi (mild steel) dengan dimensi geometris jarak antar elemen (pitch) sebesar 25mm, 50 mm dan 75 mm berdiameter dalam (Di) 5/16 inchi dan diameter luar(Do) 1 5/16 inchi dengan panjang 750mm dimasukkan dalam inner tube dari heat exchanger. Air panas memasuki tabung dengan variasi flowate mulai  400 l/jam sampai 900 l/jam, sedangkan flowrate air dingin konstan 900 l/jam. Hasil penelitian dengan  disisipkannya helical turbulator   sebagai turbulator pada heat exchanger mengakibatkan peningkatan laju perpindahan kalor. Helical turbulator dengan pitch 25mm menimbulkan peningkatan laju perpindahan kalor  paling besar sebesar ±62% dibandingkan plain tube. Helical turbulator mengakibatkan peningkatan NTU heat exchanger terbesar sebesar ±63% dihasilkan oleh helical turbulator dengan pitch 25mm.At present the need for energy in the world continues to increase, in line with the growing industry to sustain human life. However, the increase in energy needs is not offset by the increase in energy sources, so energy prices are increasingly expensive. To minimize energy needs, it is necessary to look for new alternative energy sources, especially new and renewable energy sources. Besides that, better energy management is needed, so that the world's energy needs can be reduced. Double Pipe Heat Exchanger has stainless steel outer pipe with inner diameter (Do) 3.5 inch, pipe thickness (To) 1.5 mm, and pipe length (Lo) 790 mm and pipe inside (Di) 1 3/8 inch, thickness (Ti) 0.6 mm, and the length of pipe (Li) 920 mm, with cold water and hot water used as test fluid in the annulus and inner pipe. Mild steel helical turbulators with geometric dimensions of 25mm, 50mm and 75mm intervals between 5/16 inch in diameter and a 750mm length 5/16 inch outer diameter (Do) are included in the inner tube of heat exchanger. Hot water enters the tube with variations in flowate from 400 l / hour to 900 l / hour, while the cold water flowrate is constant 900 l / hour. The results of the study by inserting a helical turbulator as a turbulator in a heat exchanger resulted in an increase in the heat transfer rate. Helical turbulators with a pitch of 25mm give rise to the highest heat transfer rate of ±62% compared to plain tubes. Helical turbulators cause the largest increase in NTU heat exchanger of ±63% produced by a helical turbulator with a 25mm pitch.

The current study includes the effect of the type of porous medium on the heat transfer enhancement for double-pipe heat exchanger. Using the three types of the porous medium of balls (steel, ceramic and glass) with diameters (6.35, 6 and 7) mm respectively. The tests were carried out on a locally manufactured heat exchanger, consisting of a copper pipe with an inner diameter (20mm), an outer diameter (22mm) and a length of (1800mm), fixed inside a pipe made of galvanized iron with the same length of copper pipe with inner diameter (50mm) and thickness (5mm). The heat exchanger is insulated with a layer of glass wool to prevent leakage of heat to the area surrounding the exchanger. The tests carried out on the heat exchanger in four cases, the three cases for porous medium, also the case of exchanger without porous medium, and for all cases identical operating conditions, which is inlet temperature of hot, and cold water determined at (63 and 32)˚C and the number of Reynolds from (1100 to 9750) for cold water and (415 to 7500) for hot water. The experimental results showed that the highest thermal conductivity was obtained when the ceramic balls were used, which was estimated to be approximately (219.302) W/˚C and increased by (105.3%, 10.8%, 4.3%) for cases: without porous medium, glass balls and steel balls respectively. The effect of the pressure drop in the hot water side, was recorded the highest value for pressure drop when the ceramic balls were used and ranged from (0.5 to 19.5) mmHg and increased by (0.95%, 2.25%) when compared with the results of two cases for balls (steel and glass) respectively.

This preliminary investigation studied the effect of circular turbulator vortex generator on heat transfer rate and pressure drop in a circular channel countercurrent double pipe heat exchanger with water working fluid. Increasing the number of circular turbulator yielded increasing heat transfer rate and pressure drop. The problem generated when increased pressure drop occurred in relation to more energy consumption of the water pumping system. Therefore, optimization in circular turbulator number is necessary to minimize the pressure drop about distance length between circular turbulator, tube diameter and thickness, type of material and crystal lattice, as well as the geometrical shape of fluid passage (circular or square). This study applied PVC outer tube and copper alloy inner tube, as well as fiberglass circular turbulator. The optimum results showed that seven parts of circular turbulator increasing heat transfer rate by 30% and pressure drop by 80% compared to that passage in the absence of circular turbulator at cool water debit of 7 L/min.

This study aims to enhancement of heat transfer in double pipe heat exchanger by improving the thermal properties of base fluid which is water by adding AL2O3-Fe2O3 nanoparticles to the water. Al2O3-Fe2O3/water hybrid Nanofluid were examined experimentally and numerically at different flow rates ranging between (3 -7) Lpm at temperature of 25°C in an external tube while there was a hot water at a temperature of 60°C and a flow rate ranged between (3 – 5) Lpm running in the central tube of a double pipe counter heat exchanger. Also, the effect of various concentrations ranged between (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3%) of Al2O3-Fe2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in water on the rate of heat transfer, friction coefficient were verified experimentally and numerically . The ratio of Al2O3-Fe2O3 is 0.5:0.5. The experimental and numerical study indicated that with the rate of heat transfer increases when the concentration of suspended nanoparticles in the base fluid increases , but on the other hand, the skin friction coefficient and pressure drop increases as well with increasing the concentration of nanoparticles. The maximum enhancement in heat transfer for AL2O3-Fe2O3 is about 6 % . The results from the experimental study were largely consistent with the numerical results.

In this study, the effects of rotating straight and helical inner tubes is experimentally discussed to determine heat transfer and pressure losses in rotating tubes and improve heat transfer. The outer tube remains stationary and the inner tube is rotated at different speeds in the work. In the experiments for straight and helical tubes, the flow regime is turbulent. According to the results, Nusselt number, pressure loss, and efficiency of heat exchanger were gauged. In addition, empirical formulas were obtained for each pipe type. It is observed that as the rotation speed of the pipe increases, the heat transfer rate increases. The pipe that provides the best increase in heat transfer is the five helixes tubes. At five helixes tubes; after the number of revolutions per minute exceeds 300, the increase in heat transfer rate has almost halt. At five helixes tubes and at 300 rpm speed when the flow of cold water through the annular gap with the fluid passing through the inner tube is equal, the heat transfer increases by 124.10% compared to straight tube, 23.47% compared to two helixes tubes, 7.92% compared to three helixes tubes, and 1.65% compared to four helixes tubes. Maximum effectiveness was obtained while rotating with 300 rpm in five helixes pipes.

Log mean temperature difference (LMTD) method neglecting the influence of heat radiation is conventionally used to calculate the total heat transfer rate of heat exchangers. From recent investigation of a single-pipe heat exchanger in some practical situations, it is found that the total heat transfer rate error of single-pipe heat exchanger obtained by LMTD method is up to 40% in the situation of oxidized metal heat exchanger with higher surface emissivity located in ambient air with low heat convection coefficient. A log mean heat transfer rate (LMHTR) method considering heat radiation has been developed to calculate the total heat transfer rate of a single-pipe heat exchanger and more accurate results can be achieved. It is also found in the present investigation that LMTD method is also not suitable to apply to non-insulated double-pipe heat exchangers and a more accurate LMHTR method considering heat radiation is developed to obtain the more reasonable results.

In the present work, an experimental study on how to increase the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in double pipe heat exchanger (DPHE) use of a variety of Al2O3 Nano-dispersion concentrations mixed in water as base fluid with air bubble injection for counter flow arrangement under turbulent flow conditions with (Re) Reynold number range from (6000 t0 45000) . The thermal performance of (DPHE) has been enhanced with the use of two techniques. The first, is represented by adding nanoparticles to hot water (inner pipe) raising the (HTC) inside the inner tube. Increase the volume concentration cause increase in the viscosity of the nanofluid leading to increase in friction factor .Secondly is represented by Air bubble injection in outer pipe with cold water to enhance the (HTC). The mobility of air bubbles inside the water from down to up by the force of the buoyancy, and the movement of these air bubbles results in significant mixture and turbulence within the water. The variations of number of thermal units (NTU), exergy loss, dimensionless exergy and (Nu) are evaluated. The investigated parameters were cold water volume flow rates (8, 10, 12 and14) l/min, flow in outer tube. Also, three different volume flow rates of air (12, 16 and 20) l/min mixed with water in outer tube. The volume flow rates of hot water remains constant at (8 l/min) flow in inner pipe with three volumetric concentrations of given nanofluid. The results showed that the air bubble injection throughout the tube gave maximum enhancement in heat transfer characteristics followed by the no air bubble injection. Since the enhancement in heat transfer characteristics varies linearly with the volumetric concentration of Nanofluids, Nanofluids with 0.3% of Al2O3 nanoparticles gave more enhancements in (HTC) than the case without nanofluid. The Nusselt number increased about (8% - 45%).
