The Effect of Air Bubbles Injection into a Shell and Coiled Tube Heat Exchanger: A Review

Abhijeet Sinha, Ankita Sharma

Abstract


In present study, a shell and coiled tube heat exchanger has been mathematically studied. The helically coiled tube and the effects of on thermal characteristics of heat exchanger will be proposed in this study. CFD analysis on ANSYS software will be performed. Shell tube carrying cold water, helical coil containing hot water and U shaped hollow pipe carries air. Thermal properties and its effect has been considered in the study.
