According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention presents a comparative analysis and design validation of a triple-pipe heat exchanger, demonstrating its superior thermal performance over conventional double-pipe configurations through computational simulations. In many industrial applications, efficient heat transfer is critical, but traditional double-pipe systems are limited by their surface area. The triple-pipe design, which incorporates a third concentric pipe, creates additional flow passages and significantly enhances the heat transfer surface area, offering improved thermal efficiency. The study outlines the design and configuration of both double-pipe and triple-pipe heat exchangers and details a methodology for their analysis using Ansys Workbench. By creating detailed computational models, meshing the geometries, and running fluid dynamics simulations, the thermal and flow characteristics of each system are evaluated. The analysis focuses on temperature distribution, heat transfer rates, and pressure drops under various flow configurations. The simulation results provide a clear visualization of the heat transfer mechanisms, showing that the triple-pipe system achieves a more uniform temperature distribution and a higher rate of energy recovery compared to the double-pipe system. While the triple-pipe design introduces greater complexity and a higher pressure drop, its enhanced thermal efficiency makes it a more effective solution for applications demanding high performance and energy optimization. This work provides a validated framework for designing and implementing advanced heat exchanger systems."
