The experiments were conducted in a circular tube, and water was used as the working fluid. Two different pitch ratios (H / D = 2.77 and 5.55) of coiled wire with circular cross-sections were utilised. The constant heat flux boundary condition was applied to the outer side of the test tube, and the constant exit restriction was used at the tube outlet. The mass flow rate changed from 110 to 20 g/s in order to obtain a detailed idea about the density wave and pressure drop oscillations, and the range of the inlet temperature was 15-35°C. The changes in pressure drop, inlet temperature, amplitude, and the period with mass flow rate are presented. For each configuration, it is seen that density wave and pressure drop oscillations occur at all inlet temperatures. Analyses show that the decrease in the mass flow rate and inlet temperature causes the amplitude and the period of the density wave and the pressure drop oscillations to decrease separately. © 2013 Gokhan Omeroglu et al.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesswaterarticledensityflow rateheat transfermassoscillationpitchpressuresteady statetemperaturecomputer simulationequipmentequipment designequipment failureflow kineticsheatingmethodologynonlinear systemtheoretical modelComputer SimulationEquipment DesignEquipment Failure AnalysisHeatingModels, TheoreticalNonlinear DynamicsRheologywaterarticledensityflow rateheat transfermassoscillationpitchpressuresteady statetemperaturecomputer simulationequipmentequipment designequipment failureflow kineticsheatingmethodologynonlinear systemtheoretical modelComputer SimulationEquipment DesignEquipment Failure AnalysisHeatingModels, TheoreticalNonlinear DynamicsRheologyArticle201310.1155/2013/714180233655472-s2.0-84873400345Q2WOS:000313735800001Q2
