Abstract

In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is performed to investigate the heat transfer performance and fluid flow characteristics using a helical screw tape insert in pipe flow. An inserted tube geometry was improved using a helical coil i.e., wire-wrapped with 1.92 twist ratio. Single-phase, horizontal, and a laminar flow (200 < Re
