Numerical analysis for thermal–hydraulic characteristics and the laminar two-phase nanofluid flow inside a tube equipped with helically twisted tapes as swirl and turbulence promoters

Abstract In this study, the numerical simulation of heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid in a pipe equipped with helically twisted tapes is investigated. The volume fraction of nanoparticles in this study is equal to 0, 1, 2, and 3%, and a two-phase mixture method has been used to simulate the nan...
