MOMENTUM TRANSFER LAB
FLOW THROUGH HELICAL COIL MMT-104
Helical coils are used for heating or cooling in process tanks. When a fluid flows through a curved tube, centrifugal force acting upon the various elements of fluid moving with different velocities causes secondary circulation. Secondary flow results in higher heat transfer characteristics. Further, secondary flow stabilizes the laminar flow leading to a higher critical Reynolds number for transition from laminar to turbulent flow.
