Abstract(#br)In this research, hydrothermal characteristics and energy efficiency of the water–Ag nanofluid in a circular tube equipped with twisted conical strip inserts are investigated through the two-phase Eulerian–Lagrangian approach. The novel inserts under study are a combination of twisted t...
