Review on Twisted Tapes Heat Transfer

Heat transfer augmentation techniques refer to different method used to increase rate of heat transfer without affecting much the overall performance of the system. These techniques are used in heat exchangers. Some of the applications of heat exchang ers are in process industries, thermal power plant, air conditioning equipment, refrigerators, radars for space vehicles, automobiles etc. In the past decade, several studies on the passive techniques of heat transfer augmentation have reported. The present paper review mainl y focus on the twisted tape heat transfer enhancement and its design modification towards the enhancement of heat transfer and saving pumping power.
