The thermal performance enhancement of water flowing through a circular tube using various passive inserts. Enhancing heat transfer in industrial processes is crucial for improving energy efficiency and system performance. Passive inserts, such as twisted tapes, wire coils, and dimpled tubes, are commonly employed to augment heat transfer within tubes without requiring additional energy input. The study begins with a review of literature on heat transfer enhancement techniques and passive inserts, establishing the importance of research in this field. Theoretical foundations of heat transfer in circular tubes and the working principles of passive inserts are discussed to provide context for the experimental work. Experimental investigations are conducted to evaluate the thermal performance of different passive inserts under varying flow conditions. The experimental setup is described in detail, including the dimensions of the circular tube, the insertion of passive devices, and the measurement techniques employed. In conclusion, the study provides valuable insights into the thermal analysis of water flow in circular tubes with passive inserts. The findings contribute to the understanding of heat transfer enhancement techniques and offer practical guidance for optimizing heat exchanger design and operation.
