Abstract

The review paper presents the various passive methods used in the heat exchanger in detail with their advantages and disadvantages over the active methods. The paper studies the experimental and numerical studies of twist tape as an insert due to its retrofit capability and easy handling advantages. The experimental studies are categorized based on the geometrical parameter of the twist tape insert. The twisted tape with similar geometries is compiled in the same section. For example, twist tape with a clockwise twist, anticlockwise twist, alternate twist, or twist tape with a twist and no twist in the same section. It is a concise form that basically illustrates the studies based on similar geometrical parameters. The study covers both experimental and numerical studies and presents the advantages of experimental and numerical studies over one another. There is a section that shows statistical analysis of the Nusselt number and friction factor for various swirl flow inserts with comparison to the plain tube. The selection of twist tape inserts for the heat exchanger depends upon the cost and feasibility at the required point of application of the heat exchanger. This is done by comparing the thermal performance factor of the insert in the heat exchanger. The thermal performance factor of a particular insert in a tubular heat exchanger must be greater than 1, to justify its capability as a good insert. Finally, future recommendations are suggested to further carry out the work in this domain.
