CFD Analysis of Enhancement of Heat Transfer in a Tube with Rod Inserts

Abstract

The enhancement of heat transfer is very important many engineering applications to increase the performance of heat exchanger. The heat transfer augmentation techniques are classified as active and passive technique. If a proper configuration of the inserts is being selected depending on working condition that have been reported in literature. Due to advances in computer software, the CFD tool is very important and effective tool to understanding heat transfer applications. Incorporating the inserts, the heat transfer enhancement is increased due to its importance in different applications. In this paper includes the result of CFD analysis of Enhancement of Heat Transfer in a Tube with rod Inserts.
