Abstract
Heat transfer coefficients for agitated liquids in a flat-bottomed vessel equipped with a heating coil have been measured over wide ranges of Prandtl and Reynolds numbers in order to examine the effect of coil surface, impeller design and coil geometry. The study of impellers included a comparison of flat-bladed and pitched-bladed agitators. Helical and baffle coil geometries were tested using smooth, knurled and finned tube surfaces. For all systems studied the Reynolds number exponent was observed to be dependent on viscosity. The data for finned tubes indicated higher transfer rates due to increased surface area and wall-turbulence. Les coefficients de transmission de la chaleur pour des liquides soumis a une agitation, dans un vaisseau a fond plat et muni d'un serpentin de chauffage, ont ere mesures sur une grande echelle de nombres de Prandtl et de Reynolds, afin de determiner les effets de la surface du serpentin, du genre de construction de la roue a aubes et de la forme geometrique du serpentin. L'etude des roues a aubes a inclus une comparaison entre des agitateurs a palettes plates et inclinees. On a fait les essais relatifs a la forme geometrique (helicoidale ou a chacanes) du serpentin en utilisant des tubes dont la surface etait lisse, moletee et a ailettes. Dans tous les systemes etudies, l'exposant du nombre de Reynolds a paru dependre de la viscosite. Les result als obtenus dans le cas des tubes a ailettes ont indique qu'ils permettaient l'obtention de vitesses de transmission plus elevees a cause de l'accroissement de l'aire de la surface et de la turbulence a la paroi.

Review heat transfer to Newtonian fluids in mechanically agitated vessels

TL;DR: A review of heat transfer to Newtonian fluids and an air-water system in mechanically agitated vessels is divided into three sections based on the type of heat-transfer surface considered: jackets, coils, and other surfaces such as baffles as discussed by the authors.

Heat Transfer Studies in Coiled Agitated Vessel with Varying Heat Input

TL;DR: In this paper, a coiled agitated vessel with varying heat input is presented using two agitators namely propeller and disk turbine, and empirical correlations separately were formed for each agitator and found to fit the experimental values within range of ±15% for both the agITators.
