Heat Conveyance Mechanism and Applications

The application of heat conveyance is presented under the assumption of low velocity and viscosity, and the factors affecting heat transfer are analyzed. Methods for reducing the flow resistance and increasing the efficiency of integrated heat transfer are presented after the characteristics of the vertical flow field are analyzed. The distributing rules of liquid flowing in the tube and heat transfer are obtained by numerical simulation, which shows that a full tube has the highest integrated heat transfer coefficient when the twisted‐tape insert is ca. 500–600 mm. The analyses indicate that the length of the twisted‐tape insert leads to a wide range of performance, i.e., a higher heat transfer coefficient can be obtained or the floating resistance can be lowered according to the actual working conditions. A higher level of integrated heat transfer coefficient is still maintained under such conditions. The above analyses indicate that the application of heat conveyance could guide the design of new enhanced heat transfer structures.
