Abstract
AbstractTwisted tape is one of the active thermal proficiency boosting technology which has been deeply examined because to consistent efficiency findings and easy implementations. Thermo-hydraulic effectiveness of tubes fitted with twisted tapes is becoming highly significant. Although twisted tapes can cause swirls and disturb boundary layers, this is the most widely used method for improving convection. In the present attempt, to enhance the heat transfer twisted tape is inserted in tube. In the current modern research, the effect of twisted tape, on the enhancement of thermal transport, Nusselt number and friction factor performance of AIN–Al2O3/water hybrid nanofluid is evaluating utilizing CFD and ANSYS-FLUENT software. the consequence of twisted pitch 44 mm, 66 mm, 88 mm, 100 mm and Reynolds numbers 800, 1200, 1600 and 2000 on Nusselt number, heat transfer coefficient and friction coefficient have been computed numerically with 0.01 to 0.04 volume friction of nanopowders. The commercial ANSYS-FLUENT code was used in this analysis utilizing the SIMPLE method for pressure–velocity coupling. The $$K - \omega$$

model and Navier Stokes equations are integrating utilizing finite volume method in ANSYS-FLUENT. It was observed that inserting the twisted tape in tube significantly improves the thermal conductivity as well as friction factor compared with the simple tube without turbulator.
