Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of Double pipe heat exchanger with annular twisted tape insert. Experiment has been performed on three set-ups: Plain double pipe heat exchanger used as a reference and two different angled twisted tapes inserts. The effect of twist angle on heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop are determined. Experiment using plain pipe is carried out for comparison. The experimental result reveal that both heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in the pipe with twisted tape, are higher than those in the plain pipe.
