The study focuses on the effects of varying Reynolds numbers and geometric configurations, par-ticularly the number of perforations in the inserts, on thermal performance. Using the finite volume method and Ansys Fluent simulations, the heat exchanger was analysed under different conditions, comparing the results with a smooth tube configuration. The findings reveal that the pitch ratio of 2.5 has shown the highest heat transfer capacity followed by pitch ratios of 4.5 and 6.5. Further, irrespective of relative pitch ratio, the ring with no perforations has shown the highest value of average Nusselt number and in the case of perforation, the open area ratio of 0.068 has yielded the best thermal perfor-mance.}, title={Numerical investigation of heat transfer enhancement in a double pipe heat exchanger using tangential perforated ring turbulators}, type={Article}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/134785/17_AoT_1-2025_Bhandari_783.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ather.2025.154191}, keywords={Computational fluid dynamics, Double pipe heat exchanger, Perforated ring turbulators, Tangent placed turbulator, Thermohydraulic performance}, }
