Abstract
Coiled tube configurations is widely used in industries like power plants, nuclear reactors, refrigeration and air conditioning, heat recovery system, chemical processing and food industries. The coiled tube is of two types alike helical coil and spiral coiled tube. The flow pattern in helical coiled tube is complicated due to the formation of secondary flows induced by the centrifugal force. Secondary flow provides better thermal contact between the surface of the tube and fluids due to the creation of vertex and resulting the mixture of fluid which improve the temperature gradient. This study investigates the heat transfer and the pressure drop of cone helically coiled tube heat exchanger using (Multi wall carbon nano tube) MWCNTwater nanofluids by varying pitch size of the tubes. The MWCNTwater nanofluids 0.5% particle volume concentrations were used.
