新型横纹螺旋盘管强化传热的数值模拟

为了增强螺旋盘管的传热性能,对现有的普通螺旋盘管进行优化设计,提出一种管壁向内凸起形成环肋的异型管,称为横纹螺旋盘管。通过数值模拟方法对横纹螺旋盘管和普通盘管内部流动和传热过程进行模拟。应用场协同原理对其速度场和温度场的协同作用进行分析。实验数据与仿真结果的误差在5%以内,验证了数值模拟方法的正确性。在不同Re(雷诺数)条件下,计算两种盘管的Nu(努塞尔数),进而与Gnielinski(格尼林斯基)修正公式计算结果进行比较,误差在10%以内。结果表明:环肋结构通过工质旋转流动破坏边界层厚度,改善了管内速度场与温度场的协同程度,从而实现了强化传热。在较高的Re范围内,横纹螺旋盘管的Nu为普通盘管的1.29~1.43倍。因此,横纹螺旋盘管具有更好的传热性能,为异型螺旋盘管的研究及工程应用提供一定的理论依据。     

自转清洗扭带管对流传热强化机理的实验研究

具有传热强化功能的自转螺旋扭带清洗防垢技术发展较快。应用激光测速仪LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimeter)实验研究自转清洗扭带管内流体的湍流特性。结果表明：在自转扭带竹带动下,管内流体的流动结构发生了反常态的变化。在近管壁环形区域内流体的轴向分速度明显比管中心区域的高,轴向湍流度比无白转扭带时大;切向分速度随半径的增大而增大,并且存在很大的径向湍流度。这些结果初步说明了自转螺旋扭带管对流传热强化的机理是：管内由扭带带动形成的强制旋流和轴向平行流叠加而形成的螺旋流动,以及近管壁环形区域内流速的增大,不仅加强了边界层流体的扰动以及边界层流体与主流流体的混合,并且使边界层厚度减簿,从而才使管内的对流传热得以强化。本文试验研究的结果为自转螺旋扭带管内对流传热强化机理的深入理论研究提供实验基础。

Heat transfer enhancement for laminar flow of ethylene glycol through a square duct fitted with increasing and decreasing orders of twisted tape

The isothermal friction factor and heat transfer enhancement through a square duct fitted with increasing and decreasing order of twist ratio sets have been studied under nearly uniform wall temperature conditions. The ethylene glycol flows under laminar flow (Re = 30–1200) through a square duct and hot water flows through an annular channel formed between a square duct and circular tube, in a counter current fashion. The hot water at a very high flow rate is circulated though the annular channel to ensure a nearly uniform wall temperature condition. There is not much change in the magnitude of the heat transfer coefficient enhancement with the increasing twist ratio and with the decreasing twist ratio set, as the intensity of the swirl generated at the inlet or at the outlet in the order of increasing twist ratio or decreasing twist ratio, is the same in both the cases. Performance evaluation analysis on constant pumping power was made and a maximum performance ratio was obtained for each twist insert corresponding to a Reynolds number of 680. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Numerical study of heat transfer enhancement using perforated dual twisted tape inserts in converging‐diverging tubes

In this article, a 3D numerical simulation for investigating friction factor and heat transfer enhancements in case of inserting normal or perforated dual twisted tapes (TTs) in converging‐diverging tubes (CDTs) is presented. The effects of Reynolds number changing from 10,000 to 20,000 and a various number of holes (N = 0, 1, 2, and 3) in TTs, under constant uniform heat flux on tube outer wall and using water as working fluid circumstances, were examined. It was found that generally using dual TTs in CDTs improves the Nusselt number up to 9% compared to bare CDTs. Perforating TTs do not have a noticeable effect on heat transfer, but decrease the friction factor significantly, up to 396% compared to normal dual TT implantation, in higher Reynolds numbers. Following that, thermal performance factor considerably increases up to 57%, compared to CDTs with normal dual TTs. To show the mechanism of these effects, velocity streamlines are presented and will be discussed in this paper.

Study on thermal and fluid flow characteristics in turbulent channel flows with multiple twisted tape vortex generators

This research has been performed to study the influences of multiple twisted tape vortex generators (MT-VG) on the heat transfer and fluid friction characteristics in a rectangular channel. The experiments conducted using the twisted tapes with three different twist ratios (y/w = 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5) for generating different swirl and turbulent intensities in the channel. The twisted tapes are assembled to obtained the MT-VG with three different free-spacing ratios, s/w = 1.66 (5 tapes), s/w = 1.25 (7 tapes) and s/w = 1.0 (9 tapes). The results for the Reynolds number ranged from 2700 to 9000 at constant Prandtl number, Pr = 0.7, using air as the test fluid, are examined. In the studied range, the presence of channel with MT-VG leads to increase in heat transfer rate over the use of smooth channel around 10.3 to 169.5%. The channel with the smaller twist ratio (y/w) and free-spacing ratio (s/w) provides higher heat transfer rate and pressure loss than those with the larger of twist ratio and free-spacing ratio under similar operation conditions. In addition, correlations of Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f) have been developed and the thermal enhancement index at constant pumping power is also determined.

Thermal characteristics in a heat exchanger tube fitted with dual twisted tape elements in tandem

The paper presents a comparative investigation of enhanced heat transfer and pressure loss by insertion of single twisted tape, full-length dual and regularly-spaced dual twisted tapes as swirl generators, in a round tube under axially uniform wall heat flux (UHF) conditions. The investigation encompassed the Reynolds number based on the inlet tube diameter (D) ranging from 4000 to 19,000. The experiments are performed using single twisted tapes and full-length dual twisted tapes with three different twist ratios (y/w = 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0) and also regularly-spaced dual twisted tapes with three different space ratios (s/D = 0.75, 1.5 and 2.25). The effects of major parameters on heat transfer and friction factor are discussed and the results from both single and dual twisted tape inserts are compared with those from the plain tube. The result shows that the heat transfer of the tube with dual twisted tapes is higher than that of the plain tube with/without single twisted tape insert. For both single twisted tape and full-length dual twisted tapes, Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f) tend to increase with decreasing twist ratio (y/w). The average Nusselt number and friction factor in the tube fitted with the full-length dual twisted tapes at y/w = 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0, are respectively 146%, 135% and 128%; and 2.56, 2.17 and 1.95 times of those in the plain tube. For the regularly-spaced dual twisted tapes, the heat transfer rate is decreased with increasing space ratio (s/D). The average Nusselt numbers in the tube fitted with the regularly-spaced dual twisted tapes (s/D) of 0.75, 1.5 and 2.25 are respectively, 140%, 137% and 133% of that in the plain tube. With the similar trend mentioned above, all dual twisted tapes with free spacing yield lower heat transfer enhancement in comparison with the full-length dual twisted tapes (s/D = 0.0).
