Enhancements in heat transfer systems are being applied for recovery of heat in domestic as well as industrial applications in many areas. These are done by generating turbulence and swirl motion in the flow by inserting inserts to reduce the thermal resistance of heat transfer. This paper presents the experimental and numerical results of heat transfer enhancement of cooling of a confined space by inserting twisted tape in a pipe buried in concrete under the floor. The Reynolds number is fixed to 15000. Thirteen cases are considered varying the configurations and designs of twisted tapes and the effects of different types of perforations and slots on twisted tapes are studied. Water as the test fluid flowed in pipe inserted with twisted tapes. Heat is transferred from a heating plate to water along the pipe length through concrete to simulate the heat transfer from a room and the water temperature rise is studied. To validate the experimental results, ANSYS-FLUENT is used as the CFD tool with a Standard k-ε turbulence flow model and the SIMPLE algorithm is implemented. Flow physics behaviour is displayed using velocity and temperature profiles inside the pipe. Insertion of twisted tapes shows that the heat transfer is enhanced due to swirling action, friction and turbulence. The experimental differences in inlet and outlet water temperature validated the CFD simulation results. The temperature distribution on a single twisted tape with increasing twist ratio is found to be the most efficient for heat transfer enhancement of the cooling floor surface with a water temperature rise of 1.62 ºC along a pipe length of 1.8 m.
