Abstract
The experimental friction factor and Nusselt number data for laminar flow through a circular duct having integral transverse corrugation and fitted with centre-cleared twisted-tape has been presented. Predictive friction factor and Nusselt number correlations have also been presented. The thermohydraulic performance has been evaluated. The major findings of this experimental investigation are that the centre-cleared twisted tapes in combination with integral transverse corrugation perform better than the individual enhancement technique acting alone for laminar flow through a circular duct up to a certain amount of twisted-tape centre-clearance.
