Review of Enhanced Heat Transfer in Tube Bank Arrangements: Insights from Nusselt Number and Friction Factor Analysis

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The heat exchangers are perhaps the most well-known kind of hotness exchanger that are broadly utilized in assortment modern applications like space warming, refrigeration, cooling, power stations, compound plants, petrochemical plants, petrol treatment facilities, flammable gas handling, avionic business and sewage treatment. They have pivotal role in transferring thermal energy from one fluid to another. This review aims to investigate the factors that influence heat transfer within such tube bank arrangements, with a specific focus on the impact of horizontal pitch. The horizontal pitch refers to the spacing between adjacent tubes, a parameter that significantly affects the flow patterns, turbulence, and heat transfer characteristics within the exchanger. The study encompasses both circular and diamond-shaped tubes, each evaluated across various horizontal pitch values
