The document summarizes an experimental study comparing the performance of a helical coil heat exchanger to a straight tube heat exchanger. Researchers designed, fabricated, and tested both types of heat exchangers. Results showed that the helical coil design had higher heat transfer rates, effectiveness, and overall heat transfer coefficients than the straight tube design across all flow rates and operating conditions. This is because the coiled tube shape induces secondary fluid flows that enhance mixing and heat transfer compared to the straight tube. The study concludes that helical coil heat exchangers have better performance than straight tube designs for industrial heat exchange applications.
