  Thermo-Hydraulic Performance of a Double-Pipe Double-Pass Heat Exchanger using Annular Fins and Graphite-filled Epoxy Composite Tubes

  By Vijay Gagare, Ritesh Ware, Sarthak Kalbande, Abhijeet Malge, Pramod Kothmire

  Abstract: Double-pipe heat exchangers remain one of the most widely adopted thermal devices because of their simple construction, operational reliability, and ease of maintenance. Nevertheless, their performance is often constrained by the limited heat transfer area of smooth tubes and the long-term challenges associated with metallic materials, including corrosion, scaling, and structural weight. Recent advances in thermally conductive polymer composites provide an opportunity to overcome these limitations by replacing conventional metals …
