This paper presents an experimental study of heat transfer and friction characteristics in decaying turbulent swirl flow generated by a short
helical tape placed at the entrance of the test section. In the experiments, total mass flux was varied from 160 kg m−2 s−1 to 1628 kg m−2 s−1 and
the momentum ratio (Mh/MT) was varied from 0 to 8.6. The experiments were conducted for water flow rates in the range of 5000 Re 30 000.
Three different helical tapes with helical angels of 30◦, 45◦ and 60◦ were used. Experimental results confirm that, the use of a helical tape inserted
to the tube leads to a higher heat transfer rate than the non-swirling flow. The local heat transfer coefficients were found to be increasing to very
high values along the downstream of the helical tape, and then decreasing with the distance (x/L). The augmentation of heat transfer was found
to be the function of the momentum ratio, Mh/MT and Reynolds number. No pronounced effect of the number of the helical channels (Nh),
and helical angle (α) on heat transfer was observed. It is found that using the helical tape can help to increase the heat transfer rate up to 20%
depending on Mh/MT and Re at constant pumping power. Enhancement efficiency increases with increasing momentum ratio and decreases with
increasing Reynolds number.
