This paper presents a numerical study of heat transfer through a downstream annulus using water as the working fluid within the laminar flow region. The annulus consisted of an outer twisted square duct and an inner circular pipe. A three-dimensional formulation was used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations numerically for the laminar flow system with a low Reynolds number. Three parameters were used in the numerical simulation: the length of the twisted square [...] the inner diameter of the inner circular pipe [...] and 25 mm and the twist angle [...]. Numerical calculations were conducted on sixteen twisted square duct heat exchangers, with water flowing within a Reynolds number range of .220 1100− The results were illustrated as a profile of the thermal enhancement factor, the friction factor and the Nusselt number. The results show that the twisted outer duct of the heat exchanger can create a swirl flow along the length of the heat exchanger. It also caused a boundary layer separation-reattachment on the wall of the inner pipe. Moreover, an increase in the twist angle increased the Nusselt number by %,20 and the friction factor was also increased as the annular gap of the heat exchanger decreased.
