Enhancing Heat Transfer of Drag-Reducing Surfactant Solution by an HEV Static Mixer with Low Pressure Drop

A novel high-efficiency vortex (HEV) static mixer was used to locally enhance the heat transfer coefficient of a drag-reducing fluid, Ethoquad O/12 (EO12) (3 mM) with sodium salicylate (NaSal) (5 mM). Significant enhancement of heat transfer coefficients was observed. The Nusselt numbers were three...
