Type of article: Article

Summary

In the paper, the optimal curvature ratio for steady, laminar, fully developed forced convection in a helical coiled tube with constant wall heat flux was analyzed by thermodynamic second law based on minimal entropy generation principle. Two working fluids, including air and water, are considered.
