Heat Transfer from Spiral Tubing in an Air-Fluidized Bed

Coefficients of heat transfer from a coiled Turbotec spiral tube to an air-fluidized bed were measured. Experimental parameters included particle diameter, number of flutes, flute pitch, groove depth, and air fluidizing velocity. Results indicated that the heat transfer coefficient generally increased with increasing fluidizing velocity. A maximum coefficient was observed in some cases. The heat transfer coefficient increased with decreasing particle size. The spiral tube with three flutes had the highest heat transfer coefficients. The spiral tube with four flutes and a pitch of 5.66 cm had gains in heat transfer duty as large as 40% compared to plain tubes. A correlation was formulated which fit the data within the range of experimental error.     

Heat transfer enhancement and performance of the molten salt receiver of a solar power tower

This paper investigates the interaction between the heat transfer performance and the thermal efficiency of a molten salt receiver used in the solar power tower plant. A test-bed is built, and a series of experiments of heat transfer enhancement for two types of molten salt receiver tubes, including smooth and spiral tubes, have been carried out under the high temperature and the high heat flux conditions. The experimental results show that the Nusselt numbers of spiral tube with heat transfer enhancement are in the range of 400–1200, which is about 3 times than that of the smooth one on average. The wall temperature of the spiral tube is decreased by about 30 °C comparing with that of the smooth tube under the identical heat transfer conditions. The results of the experiment show that, by using the spiral tube as the heat transfer tube, the heat transfer performance of the molten salt receiver is obviously improved, and the radiation and convection losses are significantly reduced. The results will be helpful for the design of the molten salt receiver.     

Influence of Spiral Angle on Heat Transfer during Condensation inside Spiralled Micro-Fin Tubes

This paper reports the influence of the spiral angle on the heat transfer performance during condensation inside spiraled micro-fin tubes having constant geometric parameters such as fin height, pitch, shape (apex angle), and fin number, as various papers previously published in this field had not clearly established this influence. Tests were conducted for condensation of R-22, R-134a, and R-407C inside a smooth tube (9.52 mm outer diameter) and three micro-fin tubes with approximately the same diameter and spiral angles of 10°, 18°, and 37°, respectively. Experimental results indicated a heat transfer augmentation with spiral angle increase. A new semi-empirical predictive correlation was developed for the practical design of spiraled micro-fin tubes. The proposed new correlation predicted the majority of experimental results of the present study within a deviation zone of ±20 percent.     

Thermal Performance of Coiled Square Tubes at Large Temperature Differences for Heat Exchanger Application

In many heat exchanger applications, working fluid inside the tubes is subjected to considerable temperature changes. Coiled tubes are used widely in heat exchanger applications due to the enhanced heat transfer rate caused by secondary flows. This study examines the thermal performance of three configurations of coiled tubes of square cross-section, namely, in-plane, helical, and conical coiled tubes, subjected to a large temperature difference between the fluid and the wall and compares it with that of a straight tube of identical cross-section area and length. The concept of figure of merit (FoM) is introduced to compare the heat transfer performance of the various configurations tested. The results indicate that FoM increases as the wall temperature is increased. In addition, the combination of temperature-induced buoyant flow and curvature-induced secondary flow significantly affects the flow behavior and heat transfer performance inside the tubes. The coil pitch in helical and conical tubes has an adverse effect on the heat transfer performance due to shift in vortices generation. The in-plane spiral tube operates at a higher wall temperature and lower Reynolds number, which gives rise to a higher FoM. The highest Nusselt number is obtained for the in-plane spiral tube at higher wall temperature and higher Reynolds number, which shows potential for practical applications.     

Large eddy simulation of turbulent flow and heat transfer in outward transverse and helically corrugated tubes

Turbulent flow and heat transfer in outward transverse and helically corrugated tubes are performed with large eddy simulation by the ANSYS Fluent software. The prediction accuracy is validated by comparison with experimental data and empirical correlations for a wavy surface wall and smooth tube, respectively. The turbulent flow patterns, local heat transfer, and friction factor are discussed. The results show that the secondary and turbulent eddies are inhibited by the spiral flow. Otherwise, the flow impact of the wall is the key factor for heat transfer enhancement, and the spiral flow has of small effect on heat transfer performance, however it can decrease the flow resistance significantly. The overall heat transfer performance for the helical corrugated tube is 1.23, which is superior to the value of 1.18 for the transverse corrugated tube.     

Experimental studies on heat transfer enhancement of the inside and outside spirally triangle finned tube with small spiral angles for high‐pressure preheaters

A new heat transfer enhanced tube—the inside and outside spirally triangle finned tube with small spiral angles (IOSTF tube)—was developed and manufactured for improving the performance of high‐pressure preheaters. The triangle flutes with small spiral angle on the outside surface of the IOSTF tube perform like the vertically fluted tube, and the triangle flutes with small spiral angle on the inside surface of the IOSTF tube perform like the spirally fluted tube. The experiments show that the total heat transfer coefficient of the vertical IOSTF tube is 63–95 per cent larger than that of the smooth tube with only a slight increase in the inside flowing friction and the field results show that a 43 per cent increase in the total heat transfer coefficient of the high‐pressure preheater with the IOSTF tubes can be obtained.

The investigation of groove geometry effect on heat transfer for internally grooved tubes

An experimental study of surface heat transfer and friction characteristics of a fully developed turbulent air flow in different grooved tubes is reported. Tests were performed for Reynolds number range 10,000–38,000 and for different geometric groove shapes (circular, trapezoidal and rectangular). The ratio of tube length-to-diameter is 33. Among the grooved tubes, heat transfer enhancement is obtained up to 63% for circular groove, 58% for trapezoidal groove and 47% for rectangular groove, in comparison with the smooth tube at the highest Reynolds number (Re = 38,000). Correlations of heat transfer and friction coefficient were obtained for different grooved tubes. In evaluation of thermal performance, it is seen that the grooved tubes are thermodynamically advantageous (Ns, a < 1) up to Re = 30,000 for circular and trapezoidal grooves and up to Re = 28,000 for rectangular grooves. It is observed that there is an optimum value of the entropy generation number at about Re = 17,000 for all investigated grooves.     

An experimental heat transfer study for helically flowing outside petal-shaped finned tubes with different geometrical parameters

The performances of shell-side heat transfer and pressure drop were experimentally studied in a helically baffled single tube heat exchanger, where water was used as a working medium. The tested tubes included one smooth tube and five petal-shaped fin tubes (PF tubes) with different geometrical parameters for improving the heat transfer of the shell side. It was shown that, compared with the smooth tube, five PF tubes significantly increased the values of Nusselt numbers. The Nusselt numbers increased with the fin height and decreased with the fin pitch. In the range of the present experiments, it was found that the Nusselt numbers for the PF tubes were increased by up to 233%, while the pressure drop was increased by less than 111%, as compared with that for the smooth tube. It is a promising route to use a PF tube instead of smooth tube for improving the performance of a helically baffled heat exchanger.     

Turbulent heat transfer and pressure drop in tube fitted with serrated twisted tape

This paper presents an original experimental study on compound heat transfer enhancement in a tube fitted with serrated twisted tape. The serrations on two sides of the twisted tape with twist ratio of 1.56, 1.88, 2.81 or ∞ are the square-sectioned ribs with the identical rib-pitch and rib-height. The local Nusselt number and Fanning friction factor increase as the twist ratio decreases in the tube fitted with smooth or serrated twisted tape. In the Re range of 5000–25 000, heat transfer augmentation attributed to the serrated twisted tape falls in the range of 250–480% of the plain-tube level. That is about 1.25–1.67 times the heat transfer level in the tube fitted with smooth twisted tape. Fanning friction factors are respectively decreased and increased in the tubes fitted with smooth and serrated twisted tapes as Re increases. Based on the same pumping power consumption, the thermal performances of the tubes with smooth and serrated twisted tapes are compared. A set of empirical correlations that permits the evaluation of the Nusselt number and the Fanning friction factor in the developed flow region for the tubes fitted with smooth and serrated twisted tapes is generated for engineering applications.
