Table 2 Comparison of the THP for different turbulator designs.
SI. No | Turbulator geometry | Maximum THP | Parameter set corresponding to maximum THP |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Trapezoidal winglet and wavy groove44 | 2.76 | \(Re: 4780\) 45° angle of attack |
2 | Perforated winglet34 | 2.01–1.78 | \(Re: 4100-25500\) \(d=5 \text{mm}\) 30° angle of attack |
3 | V down baffle blocks with racetrack-shaped holes26 | 1.43 | \(Re: 13000\) \(D=53.65 \text{mm}\) |
4 | Conical Protrusion Ribs27 | 1.346 | \(Re: 4000\) \(e/D=0.044\),\(p/e=10\) |
5 | Tetrahedron-shaped turbulators [Present study] | 1.78–1.61 | \(Re: 9000 - 24000\) \(e/D=0.27\), \(P/D=0.812\) \(p/D=0.75\),\(\beta =-30^\circ\) |
