Abstract
An expression has been obtained for the effectiveness of a spiral coil heat exchanger (SCHE) which consists of a number of horizontal layers of spirally wound fumed tubes. An experimental SCHE has been fabricat ed and tested in a closed-loop test set-up to obtain its effectiveness . The effect of the various design parameters on the effectiveness of the SCHE has been studied.
