Summary

A FLEXIBLE < START-UP > INSERT IN THE FORM OF A RIGID FLAG HINGED ON A DIAMETRAL ROD WAS FOUND TO ENHANCE HEAT TRANSFER IN TURBULENT FLOW IN A TUBE. THE INSERT WAS CAPABLE OF SIDEWAYS OSCILLATION AND PRODUCED A HEAT TRANSFER PERFORMANCE SUPERIOR TO A TWISTEDTAPE AND COILED WIRE START-UP INSERTS. HEAT TRANSFER OVER A TUBE LENGTH EQUIVALENT TO 5-15 DIAMETERS DOWN-STREAM OF THE FLAG, WAS ENHANCED UP TO 3 TIMES RELATIVE TO THAT FOR THE EMPTY TUBE.
