The effect of shell side and coil side volume flow rate on overall heat transfer coefficient, effectiveness, pressure drop and exergy loss of shell and helical coil heat exchanger were studied experimentally under steady state conditions. The working fluid, i.e., water was allowed to flow at three different flow rates of 1, 2, and 3 l/min on shell side (cold water) and at 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 l/min on coil side (hot water) for each shell side flow rate at the temperatures of 298±0.4 K and 323±0.4 K, respectively. The results found that the overall heat transfer coefficient increased with increasing both shell side and coil side volume flow rates. The inner Nusselt number significantly increased with the coil side Dean number.

Helical coil heat exchangers are widely used in a variety of industry applications such as refrigerationsystems, process plants and heat recovery. In this study, the effect of Reynolds number and theoperating temperature on heat transfer coefficients and pressure drop for laminar flow conditions wasinvestigated. Experiments were carried out in a shell and tube heat exchanger with a copper coiledpipe (4 mm ID, length of 1.7 m and coil pitch of 7.5 mm) in the temperature range from 243 to 273 K.Air – propan-2-ol vapor mixture and coolant (methylsilicone oil) flowed inside and around the coil,respectively. The fluid flow in the shell-side was kept constant, while in the coil it was varied from 6.6to 26.6 m/s (the Reynolds number below the critical value of 7600). Results showed that the helicalpipe provided higher heat transfer performance than a straight pipe with the same dimensions. Theconvective coefficients were determined using the Wilson method. The values for the coiled pipe werein the range of 3–40 W/m2·K. They increased with increasing the gas flow rate and decreasing thecoolant temperature.

This work presents an experimental study of thermal energy storage by the use of PCM. The aim of the study was to establish the influence of the different inlet temperature of heat transfer fluid (HTF) and the different Reynolds number of HTF on the intensity of the charging and discharging processes. The PCM used in this study was stearic acid and water was used as HTF. A copper helical coil mounted in a cylindrical container served as a heat transfer surface.

The shell and coil heat exchangers are commonly used in heating, ventilation, nuclear industry, process plant, heat recovery and air conditioning systems. This type of recuperators benefits from simple construction, the low value of pressure drops and high heat transfer. In helical coil, centrifugal force is acting on the moving fluid due to the curvature of the tube results in the development. It has been long recognized that the heat transfer in the helical tube is much better than in the straight ones because of the occurrence of secondary flow in planes normal to the main flow nside the helical structure. Helical tubes show good performance in heat transfer enhancement, while the uniform curvature of spiral structure is inconvenient in pipe installation in heat exchangers. Authors have presented their own construction of shell and tube heat exchanger with intensified heat transfer. The purpose of this article is to assess the influence of the surface modification over the performance coefficient and effectiveness. The experiments have been performed for the steady-state heat transfer. Experimental data points were gathered for both laminar and turbulent flow, both for co current- and countercurrent flow arrangement. To find optimal heat transfer intensification on the shell-side authors applied the number of transfer units analysis.
