Heat transfer enhancement of TiO2/water nanofluid in a heat exchanger tube equipped with overlapped dual twisted-tapes

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) in water as nanofluid was employed for heat transfer enhancement together with overlapped dual twisted tapes (O-DTs). The study encompassed Reynolds numbers from 5400 to 15,200, O-DTs with overlapped twist ratios (yo/y) of 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 and nanofluids with TiO2 volume conc...
