NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER CHARA-CTERISTICS OUTSIDE A PERIODICALLY VIBRATING TUBE

Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics outside a vibrating tube were numerically simulated by the dynamic mesh method. The mechanism of heat transfer enhancement via periodic vibration of the tube was explored by using the field synergy principle. It is found that the field synergy angle between fluid velocity vector and temperature gradient vector for a periodically vibrating tube is significantly smaller than that for a stationary tube, and it changes approximately according to the sinusoidal law in a vibration period. The effect of time phase of the vibration on the field synergy angle and convective heat transfer coefficient were also discussed. Results indicate that the vibration can enhance heat transfer and this effect is more remarkable when time phase angle ranges between 50° and 1400 in a half period. Especially when the time phase angle is 90°, the average field synergy angle outside the tube reaches the minimum, which leads to the best heat transfer performance.

同轴套管间涡旋流动及强化传热数值模拟

相对旋转两同轴套管间的涡旋流动,能够带来二次流强化传热传质作用,在航空、水处理、生态保护、生物工程和膜分离等领域都具有广泛的应用价值。本文使用Fluent软件,对同轴套管间涡旋流动及传热特性进行数值模拟,考察了内管转速、内外管壁面温差等操作参数变化对同轴套管间流体传热性能的影响,分析了涡旋流动与传热效率之间的关联关系。模拟结果表明:内管转速增加在流场中形成泰勒涡,涡流扰动增大了高温壁面与流体间的热流密度,增强了流体传热效率。增大内外管壁面温差,也可加强流体传热性能,但其强化作用不及内管转速的强化作用显著。受流场中泰勒涡影响,流体速度、温度及热流密度沿轴向的分布都呈正弦状周期性波动,在相邻两涡交界面处,流体传热性能最好,在涡中心处的传热性能最差。

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF ICE CONTROL EFFECT OF SOLAR ENERGY ON TIBETAN CHANNELS

With the Tanghe Diversion Channel in Tibet as an example, the theoretical study on the ice control effect of the solar sacks was conducted based on the previous study. The numerical simulation method was adopted and a one-dimensional numerical model for ice crystal in diversion channels in high-altitude cold regions was developed in this article. The heat transfer through the air-water interface and the mass transfer between ice and water were considered in the model. The model was validated by the field observation data on the diversion channel of the Tanghe Hydropower Station. The results show that the ice control effect of the solar sacks is obvious in the channel with large mass flow rate in the high-altitude cold regions.     

Condensation Heat Transfer of R-134A in Horizontal Straight and Helically Coiled Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangers

This article presents an experimental investigation on condensation heat transfer of R-134a in horizontal straight and helically coiled tube-in-tube heat exchangers. The experiments were carried out at three saturation temperatures(35 ℃ , 40 ℃ and 45 ℃ ) with the refrigerant mass flux varying from 100 kg/m2 s to 400 kg/m2 s and the vapor quality ranging from 0.1 to 0.8. The effects of vapor quality and mass flux of R-134a on the condensation heat transfer coefficient were investigated. The results indicate that the condensation heat transfer coefficients of the helical section are 4%-13.8% higher than that of the straight section. The experimental results were compared with the data available in literature for helical and straight pipes.

The viscoelastic effects on thermal convection of an Oldroyd-B fluid in open-top porous media

The effects of two viscoelastic parameters on the thermal convection of a viscoelastic Oldroyd-B fluid in an open-top porous square box with constant heat flux are investigated. The results show that the increase of relaxation time is able to destabilize the fluid flow leading to a higher heat transfer rate, while the increase of retardation time tends to stabilize the flow and suppress the heat transfer. The flow bifurcation appears earlier with the increase of the relaxation time and the decrease of the retardation time, resulting in more complicated flow patterns in the porous medium.     

ADJOINT METHOD OF PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION FOR SOME NON- LINEAR REACTION-DIFFUSION SYSTEMS

This paper deals with the problem of determining two unknown parameters of some nonlinear reaction-diffusion models. These reaction-diffusion models are derived from applications in the groundwater flow transport, environ mental sciences, gas dynamics, heat and mass transfer, industrial automatization and some other engineering technological fields. The adjoint method based on the variational principle is a relatively new optimal control method. It is used in the identification of the unknown diffusion coefficient, and some coefficients of the nonlinear sink or source terms in these systems.At first, the problem is transferred into an optimization problem of minimizing a functional, and the adjoint equations of the governing equations are derived from the adjoint method.Then, the formulas are given to calculate the gradient of the objective function with respect to the couple of unknown parameters. At last, an iterative gradient-based optimization algorithm is presented for solving the optimization problem. A numerical example is offered in the end. It shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.with mass transfer through porous media： Effect of irrotational viscous pressure

This paper studies the effect of the irrotational viscous pressure on Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of the plane interface of two viscous and incompressible fluids in a fully saturated porous media with mass and heat transfers across the interface. In the earlier work, the instability of the plane interface of two viscous and streaming miscible fluids through porous media was studied by assuming that the motion and the pressure are irrotational and the viscosity enters the normal stress balance. This theory is called the viscous potential flow theory. Here, we use another irrotational theory in which the discontinuities in the irrotational tangential velocity and shear stress are eliminated in the global energy balance by considering viscous contributions of the irrotational pressure. The Darcy-Brinkman model is used in the investigation and the stability criterion is formulated in terms of a critical value of the relative velocity. It is observed that the heat and mass transfer has a destabilizing effect on the stability of the system while the irrotational shearing stresses stabilize the system.     

SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENT OF THE HEAT AND MASS DIFFUSIVITIES IN UNSATURATED MOIST SOILS USING CONSTANT HEAT FLUX METHOD

The simultaneous measurement of the heat and mass diffusivities in unsa-turated moist soils is presented by use of constant heat flux method. By integrating the analytical solutions of the equations governing the heat and mass transfer process in a one-dimensional semi-infinite moist soil sample under condition of constant heat flux with the measurement data of the temperature and the moisture content fields in the soil sample, the heat and mass diffutivities of the soil sample are obtained. The experimental results show that the developed method is timesaving and can determine the heat and mass diffusivities in a moist soil through only one test, resulting in significant advantages in practical applications. This method has potential applications to the determination of heat and mass diffusivities in moist soils and may provide a new way for the fast and accurate measure-ment of the heat and mass diffusivities in moist soils and other unsaturated wet porous media.     

Numerical investigation of flow and heat transfer performances of horizontal spiral-coil pipes

The flow and heat transfer performances of horizontal spiral-coil pipes of circular and elliptical cross-sections are studied.The numerical results are compared with the experimental data,to verify the numerical method.The effects of the inlet water mass flow rate,the structural parameters,the helical pitch and the radius ratio on the heat transfer performances are investigated.Performances of the secondary fluid flow with different radius ratios are also investigated.Numerical results demonstrate that the heat transfer coefficient and the Nusselt number increase with the increase of the water mass flow rate or the helical pitch.The maximum heat transfer coefficient and the maximum Nusselt number are obtained when the radius ratio is equal to 1.00.In addition,the fluid particle moves spirally along the pipe and the velocity changes periodically.The particle flow intensity and the spiral movement frequency decrease significantly with the increase of the radius ratio.Besides,the secondary flow profile in the horizontal spiral-coil pipe contains two oppositely rotating eddies,and the eddy intensity decreases significantly along the pipe owing to the change of curvature.The decreasing tendency of the eddy intensity along the pipe increases with the increase of the radius ratio.
