内插中心斜杆换热管的换热性能

在热传递技术的被动改进中,在管中使用插入物是当今一种非常普遍并且具有很大实际作用的改进技术。内插中心斜杆换热管可以使管内实现类似于优化流场的多纵向涡旋流,使换热管在流动阻力增幅不大的情况下换热性能得到有效提升。利用数值模拟方法对内插中心斜杆的换热管进行研究,探求斜杆数目、节距、直径等参数的变化对换热、阻力特性的影响。结果发现:内插中心斜杆换热管的换热性能远优于光管的综合换热性能;内插中心斜杆换热管的努塞尔数随着斜杆数量的增多而在一定范围提高,压降随着斜杆数量的增多而增大,斜杆数量为3时,内插中心斜杆换热管的综合换热性能较好;努塞尔数和压降随着节距的增大而减小,斜杆节距为20 mm时,内插中心斜杆换热管的综合换热性能较好;努塞尔数和压降随着斜杆直径的增大而增加,斜杆直径为2.0 mm时,内插中心斜杆换热管的综合换热性能较好。

Heat transfer performance of heat exchanger tubes with inserted central inclined rod

In the passive improvement of heat transfer technology, the use of inserts in tubes is a very common and practical technique. Inserting a central inclined rod in a heat exchanger tube can realize multilongitudinal vortex flow, similar to the optimized flow field in the tube, and effectively improve the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger tube while retaining a small increase in flow resistance. In this study, a heat exchanger tube with an inserted central inclined rod is examined based on the numerical simulation method. The influence of the number, pitch, and diameter of inclined rods on the heat transfer performance and resistance characteristics is investigated. Results show that the heat transfer tube with the inserted central inclined rod achieves considerably better heat transfer performance than the smooth tube. The Nusselt number of the heat transfer tube with the inserted central inclined rod increases within a certain range with an increasing number of inclined rods, and the pressure drop increases with the number of inclined rods. When the number of inclined rods is three, the comprehensive heat transfer performance of the heat transfer tube with the inserted central inclined rod is better. The Nusselt number and pressure drop decrease with increasing pitch of the inclined rod. When the pitch of the inclined rod is 20 mm, the comprehensive heat transfer performance of the heat transfer tube with the inserted central inclined rod is better. The Nusselt number and pressure drop increase with the inclined rod diameter. When the inclined rod diameter is 2.0 mm, the comprehensive heat transfer performance of the heat exchange tube with the inserted central inclined rod is better.
