Abstrakt: In this paper, the effects of integrated fins on the thermal performance of the concentric tube heat exchanger with a variable flow rate of hot and cold water are discussed. The inner pipe is made of copper pipe of length = 800 mm, OD=30 mm, ID=26 mm, t=2 mm. the integrated fines of the geometry 1.25 mm and 1.5 mm pitch length, 1 mm of the depth of cut are considered in the study. The thermal performance of the heat exchanger with a flow rate of hot and cold fluids ranges from 0.014 kg s-1 to 0.07 kg s-1 and the effects of parallel and counter flow direction are also discussed in detail. The experimental result confirms that the thermal performance of the concentric tube heat exchanger is more in the case of the tube with integrated fins and counter flow direction with the highest flow rate of water in the pipe and annulus of the heat exchanger.
