Abstract

Experiments on hydrodynamic and heat transfer behavior of the flow in a twisted curved channel were conducted in a water tunnel and also in two heat exchanger coils tested in a heat exchanger test facility. The flow regime, designated ''chaotic advection,'' is a subclass of laminar flow with high mixing properties. Preliminary results show that heat transfer is enhanced due to the chaotic trajectories generated in the flow.
