Abstract This study numerically investigates pressure loss, heat transfer and thermal efficiency in round tube heat exchangers attached with various types of Vrings. A typical type A V-ring is compared with two types of modified V-rings (type B and C). The impacts of blockage ratios, b/D = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15
and 0.20 for all V-ring types in the turbulent region are discussed (Re = 3000 – 20,000). Flow directions in the round pipe attached with the V-rings
are varied. The V-apex setting downstream is referred to as “V-Downstream, while the V-apex setting upstream is referred to More >
