Abstract   Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is characterized by muscle hypertrophy and fibrosis, interfering with force generation and relaxation. Abnormal ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation have been demonstrated in patients with HOCM at rest, but there is lack of data regarding the deformational mechanics in exercise in obstructive HCM. Aims To assess the adaptability of LV deformational behaviour to physical exercise in HOCM patients as compared to healthy controls and to examine if Deformational Imaging (DMI) can provide additional information. Methods 28 obstructive HOCM (age 51.2±14.2yrs; 16 men, LVOT-obstruction 56±19mmHg at rest or on Valsalva maneuver) and 32 control subjects (50.9±6.8 yrs, 19 men from the MAGYAR-PATH Registry) underwent bicycle stress Echo (ESE) with full conventional 2D- and Doppler TTE, 2D- and 3D-Speckle Tracking Analysis (DMI) and 3D-Full Volume assessment both at rest and on submaximal ESE. Results At rest, the HOCM group had lower GLS (−14.6±4.5 vs 18.4±2.6%, p<0.01) but higher CS (−32.9±5.1 vs 28.8±2.3%) and Twist (9.9±2.6 vs 6.1±2.2°) than in control subjects. Exercise induced an increase in all strains in control subjects but less in HOCM (GLS: −21.4±3.5 vs 15.1±3.0% and CS: −33.9±3.6 vs 34.1±4.2% in controls). The increase of LV twist was blunted in HOCM (Δ1.2 vs Δ3.6° in controls). The PSS was more pronounced in HOCM on ESE (46.6±12.0 vs 21.2±9.6%, AUC: 0.71 for predicting HOCM), the UTR was slower (118±2.1 vs 133.1±14.1°/s) and occurred later in HOCM. The MD of Strain increased in HOCM on ESE (Δ85.1 vs Δ8.1ms in controls). The Twist had positive correlation with LVOT-obstruction (R2=0.54, p<0.01) and inverse correlation with UTR (R2=−0.72, p<0.02). The UTR/Twist ratio diminished only in HOCM on exercise (−6.0±0.8 vs −13.1±2.5 1/s). The MD, the PSS on ESE and the UTR/Twist ratio predicted the HOCM deformation phenotype accurately (AUC: 0.72, cut-off 6.0 1/s). Conclusions The HOCM patients had attenuated Strain and Rotational response on exercise implying impaired deformational adaptability with post-systolic shortening and pronounced mechanical dispersion of peak Strain on exercise which was more accurate to identify the HOCM phenotype than other Echo-indices. These findings support evidence for reduced systolic-diastolic coupling efficiency in HOCM patients on exercise which can contribute to the development of exercise-related breathlessness, dynamic LVOT-obstruction and arrhythmias in patients with HOCM. These distinct deformational patterns on exercise can help in the differential diagnosis of patients with LV hypertrophy of unknown aetiology with good sensitivity and specificity and can also aid in the risk stratification workup in HOCM.

An experimental analysis has been carried out to investigate the thermal and friction factor characteristics of fluid flow in a tube with double strip helical screw tape (DS-HST) inserts with different values of twist ratio and compared with single strip helical screw tape inserts and plain tube. Water is used as a working fluid at different flow rates with constant heat flux conditions. CFD analysis is also carried out to visualize thermal and fluid flow characteristics of fluid flow in tube with inserts. Experimental results have showed that Nusselt number and friction factor have attained excellent enhancement with double strip helical screw tape inserts in the range of flow rates than single strip helical screw tape inserts at the value of twist ratio 1.5. Correlation is also developed for Nusselt number with a range of Reynolds number, twist ratio and number of strips. Moreover, the performance ratio has attained maximum value at twist ratio of 2.5 with high values of flow rate. It is concluded that DS-HST is able to attain enhancement in the efficiency of heat exchanger, causing a reduction in size for thermal applications.

This investigation deals with the pressure drop during forced convection boiling of R-12 under swirl flow inside a horizontal tube. Plain flow and swirl flow pressure drop data are reported for an electrically heated, horizontal, stainless steel, round test-section fitted with twisted tapes having twist ratios from 3.76 to 10.15. A correlation has been presented expressing the swirl flow boiling pressure drop in terms of the twist ratio and the plain flow boiling pressure drop calculated by the Martinelli-Nelson model. The proposed correlation predicts the swirl flow data to within ± 20 percent of the observed values.

Abstract The experimental analysis is arranged to evaluate the thermal hydraulic performance on nanofluid flow in helical screw insert with tube at a number of strips and different twist ratios in laminar flow regime. The single strip (SS) helical screw inserts are also compared with the double strip (DS) helical screw inserts. The heat transfer enhancement is achieved with nanofluid flow in double strip as compared with single strip helical screw insert at decreased values of twist ratio and increased values of Reynolds number. A maximum enhancement of 421% is found in the value of Nusselt number with double strip helical screw insert at twist ratio of 1.5 and low value of Reynolds number in the flow of nanofluid than water in plain tube. The common correlations of Nusselt number and friction factor are generated. The thermal performance factor (TPF) is achieved at a maximum value of 2.42 with double strip than single strip helical screw inserts at twist ratio of 2.5 and low value of Reynolds number. The present analysis shows suitability of the double strip helical screw insert to enable miniaturization of the heat exchangers. A compact heat exchanger decreases the size of thermal application such as solar water heater, solar power plants, electronic cooling systems, radiator, etc., which could save environment by pollution reduction with utilization of energy.

Abstract Steady state experimental work has been carried out to compare a conventional single jet of diameter 12.7mm with a swirling impinging jet. In this study swirl inserts with three different twist ratios 3, 4.5 and 6 were used to induce the swirling motion to the working fluid. The Reynolds number based on conventional impinging jet’s diameter is varied from 10000 to 16000. It is observed that with increase in twist ratio, the average heat transfer enhancement is reduced. However, with higher twist ratios more uniform distribution of heat transfer enhancement is observed.

There is a significant enhancement of the heat transfer rate with the usage of nanofluid. This article describes a study of the combination of using nanofluid with inserts, which has proved itself in attaining higher benefits in a heat exchanger, such as the radiator in automobiles, industries, etc. Nanofluids are emerging as alternative fluids for heat transfer applications due to enhanced thermal properties. In this paper, the thermal hydraulic performance of ZrO2, awater-based nanofluid with various volume concentrations of 0.1%, 0.25%, and 0.5%, and staggered conical strip inserts with three different twist ratios of 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 in forward and backward flow patterns were experimentally tested under a fully developed laminar flow regime of 0–50 lphthrough a horizontal test pipe section with a length of 1 m with a constant wall heat flux of 280 W as the input boundary condition. The temperatures at equidistant position and across the test section were measured using K-type thermocouples. The pressure drop across the test section was measured using a U-tube manometer. The observed results showed that the use of staggered conical strip inserts improved the heat transfer rates up to that of 130.5%, 102.7%, and 64.52% in the forward arrangement, and similarly 145.03%, 116.57%, and 80.92% in the backward arrangement with the twist ratios of 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 at the 0.5% volume concentration of ZrO2 nanofluid. It was also seen that the improvement in heat transfer was comparatively lower for the other two volume concentrations considered in this study. The twist ratio generates more swirl flow, disrupting the thermal hydraulic boundary layer. Nanofluids with a higher volume concentration lead to higher heat transfer due to higher effective thermal conductivity of the prepared nanofluid. The thermal performance factor (TPF) with conical strip inserts at all volume concentrations of nanofluids was perceived as greater than 1. A sizable thermal performance ratio of 1.62 was obtained for the backward-arranged conical strip insert with 2.5 as the twist ratio and a volume concentration of 0.5% ZrO2/deionized water nanofluid. Correlations were developed for the Nusselt number and friction factor based on the obtained experimental data with the help of regression analysis.

The transient critical heat fluxes (transient CHFs) in SUS304-circular tubes with various twisted-tape inserts are systematically measured for mass velocities (G = 3988–13,620 kg/m2s), inlet liquid temperatures (Tin = 287.55–313.14 K), outlet pressures (Pout = 805.11–870.23 kPa) and exponentially increasing heat inputs (Q = Q0 exp(t/τ), exponential periods, τ, of 28.39 ms to 8.43 s) by the experimental water loop comprised of a multistage canned-type circulation pump controlled by an inverter. The SUS304-circular tube of inner diameter (d = 6 mm), heated length (L = 59.4 mm), effective length (Leff = 49.4 mm), L/d (=9.9), Leff/d (=8.23), and wall thickness (δ = 0.5 mm) with average surface roughness (Ra = 3.89 μm) is used in this work. The SUS304 twisted-tapes with twist ratios, y [H/d = (pitch of 180 deg rotation)/d], of 2.40 and 4.45 are used. The transient critical heat fluxes for SUS304-circular tubes with the twisted-tapes of y = 2.40 and 4.45 are compared with authors' transient CHF data for the empty SUS304-circular tube and a SUS304-circular tube with the twisted-tape of y = 3.37, and the values calculated by authors' transient CHF correlations for the empty circular tube and the circular tube with twisted-tape insert. The influences of heating rate, twist ratio and swirl velocity on the transient CHF are investigated into details and the widely and precisely predictable correlations of the transient CHF against inlet and outlet subcoolings for the circular tubes with various twisted-tape inserts are given based on the experimental data. The correlations can describe the transient CHFs for SUS304-circular tubes with various twisted-tapes of twist ratios (y = 2.40, 3.37, and 4.45) in the wide experimental ranges of exponential periods (τ = 28.39 ms to 8.43 s) and swirl velocities (usw = 5.04–20.72 m/s) obtained in this work within −26.19% to 14.03% difference. The mechanism of the subcooled flow boiling critical heat flux in a circular tube with twisted-tape insert is discussed.
