Many papers in the last decade shows passive methods are more efficient for both laminar as well as turbulent type of flow. The present paper is a study of sugar cane juice evaporation process under laminar flow using twisted tape
inserts. Various parameters like types of twists, tape materials, pipe geometry, type of fluid, twist ratio etc. were
considered for the CFD analysis. These techniques give more effective results for the heat transfer process during
evaporation.

Keywords: Brix, Heat transfer enhancement, twisted tape (TT), twist ratio, laminar flow.
