Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Angled Spiralling Tape Inserts in a Heat Exchanger Annulus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the single phase heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of an angled spiralling tape inserted into the annulus of a tube-in-tube heat exchanger.

Numerical optimisation of square pin-fins for minimum thermal resistance with non-uniform design dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied constructal theory and design to present a three-dimensional geometric optimisation of cooling square pin-fins in forced convection of solid base material subject to constant temperature at the bottom.

Numerical analysis of thermal performance of an externally longitudinally finned receiver for parabolic trough solar collector

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fin dimensions on heat transfer and fluid flow performance characteristics of a parabolic trough collector was investigated and it was shown that fin thickness and height increase with heat losses, glass temperature and maximum absorber temperature.

Pressure drop in the transitional flow regime of annuli associated with mixed convection

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the Reynolds number limits of the transitional flow regime and friction factor characteristics of annuli in the regime of fluid flow with hydrodynamic and thermally developing.
