In the current study, the investigation of heat transfer and fluid flow Characteristics of Pure water when pass through an inner annulus triangular shape and circular shape triple tube heat exchanger (CTTHX). this investigation has been conducted across various Reynolds Number to gain insights into their performance also conducted a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation using the ANSYS-FLUENT software. Result obtained was validated by comparing to empirical correlation data found in the existing literature. The investigation considered various operating variable as Reynolds Number and temperature across the inner, intermediate, and outer tubes. Specifically, the Reynolds Number of 2000 at 305 K, a range of 2000 to 4500 at 340 K, and 2000 at 295 K for the respective tubes. Key findings are that friction factor of triangular shape is increase by 10.5% and for circular shape by 2.69% as compared to correlation in existing literature. And Nusselt number (Nu) for triangular shape increase by 39.19% and for circular shape by 13.30% as compared to correlation in the range of Reynolds Number (Re) from 2000 to 4500. The effectiveness was increased by 16.67% and 7.6% for triangular shape and circular shape respectively as compared to existing literature.
