The present work is an outcome of experimental work carried out to identify the enhancement ratio by insertion of wire loop tube inserts in an oil cooler on tube side carrying viscous oil.Hence usage of enhanced heat transfer techniques by inserting wire loop inserts on the tube side can enhance the heat transfer coefficient by about 3-4 times and the size of the heat exchanger can be reduced.
