  • Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer Rate Improvement in Heat Exchangers Utilizing Innovative Wavy Vortex Generators
    Adnan Q. Ibrahim, Riyadh S. Alturaihi
    Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2026
    Quick‐cooling heat exchangers are used for a wide range of industrial applications. This study is aimed at employing the wavy surfaces of the vortex generators to reduce pressure drops and enhance heat transfer performance. The turbulent conditions for mixture (water and air) flow with Re w = 3500–5000. The current numerical results are supported by experimental data from earlier literature. Subsequently, the impact of the working fluid flow rate on the parameters ( N u / N u o ), ( f / f o ) and thermohydraulic performance (THP) is investigated for both water flow and mixture flow (water and air) in a downward configuration at a 15° angle of attack in an oval tube bank heat exchanger. Also, this study investigated the performance of wavy VGs and oval and circular tubes, as well as downward and forward configurations, across different angles of attack (15°, 20° and 25°) in the mixture flow (water and air) by using Ansys Workbench 19.0 and SolidWorks 2018. The design of wavy VGs achieves optimal performance at an angle of attack ( α = 15 ° ) for circular tube banks within a mixture flow, characterised by both transition and turbulent zones.
  • Enhancing of Heat Transfer Rate in the Heat Exchanger with Wavy Winglets Experimentally
    Adnan Q. Ibrahim, Riyadh S. Alturaihi
    Journal of Engineering United Kingdom, 2024
    Heat convection plays an important role in many industries, equipment, and human lives, and heat exchangers emerge as fundamental devices for controlling this crucial orientation. The primary objective of this work was to assess the effect of single‐ and two‐phase flows associated with wavy winglets on heat exchanger performance. Two‐phase flows as the working fluid with wavy winglets are used in the oval tube bank heat exchanger (HE). The Reynolds number area (3639–4813) is investigated in this experimental work. Wavy winglets at an attack angle of 15° have been shown to affect heat transfer rate through comparisons between the experimental results and various water‐air mixture flow rates (Qw = 15, 17.5, and 20 Lpm) (Qa = 8.33, 16.67, and 25 Lpm). A Nusselt number (Nu) is increased by 64.5%, and the friction factor (f) is decreased by 12.6% in water flow; the Nu is increased by 15.5%, and f remains almost constant in water‐air mixture flow at moderate turbulent flow. It can be noted that the Nu and the performance parameter (j/f) are directly proportional to the velocity of flow at moderate turbulent flow with any increase in turbulent flow, and the Nu and j/f are inversely proportional to the velocity of flow. Many parameters have been studied experimentally to establish their impact on performance parameters.
