This article presents a brief review of various methodologies applied for heat transfer enhancement in laminar flow convection regime. Experimental setup for laminar flow convection heat transfer enhancement using insertions has been explained along with the associated results. Nusselts number is found to be a key parameter for investigation in order to perceive the enhancement in heat transfer. Similarly, the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection heat transfer enhancement technique has also been explored. The results of isotherms and fluid flow parameters are discussed which directly affect the heat transfer coefficient. This review article complements the literature in related field and thus will be helpful in order to carry out further experiments in heat transfer enhancement in future.
